RSS Feeds in the Portal
One of the many useful functions of WKU Portal is the ability to add RSS feeds to
the interface. An
RSS feed allows you to view data feeds from different blogs or news
sources such as CNN, MSNBC or FOXNews that will be displayed and will be
actively changing, keeping you up to date with current news and events.
How to Determine if a Site has an RSS Feed
Internet browsers are able to tell you if a site has an RSS feed by
displaying these icons in the address bar or at the bottom of the
browser window.
Adding the RSS Feed
- Login to the Portal
- Click the tab labeled My Tab
- MyFeeds, by default is located at the mid-left section of the screen. This is your current RSS feed that is, by default, set to receive data from CNN.com. To change it, click Edit Content.
- The frame will change and the buttons to add and remove a feed are available. If you choose to, you may remove the default RSS feed. To add a new feed, just copy and paste the URL of the feed you would like to
see and click Add. When you are finished, click Done.
