What does it do?

This application brings the power and flexibility of RSS feeds that you define to your profile.

RSS feeds are an easy way of sharing blogs, news headlines and other frequently updated content. Got a favorite news site? Perhaps a web-comic you would like to share? Look for this icon on their site. This is the industry standard icon to indicate a link to an RSS feed and now you can publish this information to your profile!

How do I get it working?

If you have an RSS feed in mind that you would like to display, get the URL of the feed and skip ahead to step 2!

If you found RSS Reader on someone else's page and are wondering why the same stories aren't appearing on your profile, well the fix is simple. Just follow the easy steps below!

1. On their page above the stories will be the title of the RSS feed they are displaying. Right click the link and choose Copy Shortcut.
2. Now go into the settings page for the RSS Reader (a link can can be found on the page you check for your messages)
3. Paste what you just copied into the first form field RSS feed URL. Please note that the feed URL must begin with http://
4. Click the Save Settings button

If all goes well you should now see the same stories on your profile. Now go have fun with some colors!

Nothing appears when I enter my RSS feed's URL!

Please go into the settings page and click the Defaults button, then Save Settings. Verify that the default news feed displays. Then go back to the settings page and try to re-enter your custom feed URL. Please ensure that the URL you are entering into the application begins with http:// and verify that it is a valid URL by typing it into your browser's address bar. After clicking Save Settings, click Reload just to make sure that your custom feed URL was really saved.

I'm still having problems!
