Getting an RSS Feed to show on your site

[chrisdolan]

Hi,

How do I display the RSS feed of another site, on my site?

See example, at bottom of the homepage is what I'm referring to: http://carringtonwholesale.com/

I already receive the emails for the feed I want to display.

Please let me know, thanks!

In the widget area, there is an RSS Feed Widget - just drag that where you want it - and add the feed from the website you want fed into your site.

Wow, it's that easy? I just did that and nothing showed up on my page - will only feeds that were issued out after I added it to my website show up? If so, I would just wait to see them on my site?

Thanks

They should show up right away. Put your feed link in here so I can see what you are trying to feed in.

Shoot. This is what I put into the widget: http://www.housingwire.com/articles

Thanks!

Look at the top right corner - you will see Subscribe. Next to that is the RSS icon. Click it and it will take you to their Feed information. Scroll down and you will see this link - http://feeds.feedburner.com/housingwire/uOVI. That is the link you should put in your feed. You don't use the page URL, but the feed link.

Very cool, thanks.

Thanks again, the RSS feeds on the site are very cool.

One thing on the appearance - the headlines are all bold and stacked on top of eachother, is it possible to make the type less bold and create a little more space between each headline?

Thanks!

I found this thread on Wordpress Support - see if this will help you - http://wordpress.org/support/topic/h...olor?replies=7

Nice - Got the text in the feed to go from bold to normal by reading that thread, thanks.

Can't seem to figure out how I would get some space between the different news headlines though, is that posibble?

Try this link - http://wordpress.org/support/topic/s...ets?replies=14

Here is some code they list in there to try. You can try the margin-bottom to see what that does. I don't code - I just hack it!

#sidebar .rsswidget {
margin-bottom: 20px;
overflow: hidden;
line-height: 10px;
font: Trebuchet;
font-size: 10px;
}

I really wish I was able to figure this out, but can't. I messed around with this a while and it didn't do anything. Font and line height both worked if you changed them. Changing the margin bottom doesn't change anything.

Is there anything else we could insert in there would add space between paragraphs, or something to that effect - would the modification treat the different entries like paragraphs maybe?

Thanks a lot!
