Adding a news feed

To add a news feed:

1. In the menubar, click Site Info, and then click Edit Tools.

3. In the "Title" field, enter a title for the news feed that will appear in the menubar.
   
   
4. In the "URL" field, enter the URL for the news feed.

   If the worksite already contains news feeds or web content, you'll see information about existing news and web items here. If there are no blank fields at the bottom of the list to fill in, from the More News Tools? drop-down menu, select the number of news tools you'd like to add.

5. Click Continue. You will see a summary of your changes to the site's tools.
   
   
6. Click Finish.

You should now see a link in the menubar to the news feed with the title you provided.
