News Feeds

The president also requested a section to display news feeds from other landscape sites.

1. First, go to http://localhost/joomla15/administrator and log in with the username

“admin” and the password you specified during the installation. If you are already

logged in, you do not need to do this again.

2. From the “Components” menu, select “News Feeds” and then “Categories.”

3. Press “New” and create a category for “Landscaping,” then press “Save.”

4. Click on the “Feeds” button.

5. Click on “New” to add a news feed. Search around the Internet to find a few RSS

feeds with landscaping information. Then name the feeds and add the URL of the

RSS feed in the “Link” box. Make sure each is in the “Landscaping” category and

choose the number of articles to display from this news feed. Some examples of

news feeds may be:

 http://www.joomla.org/index.php?option=com_jd-wp&Itemid=105&feed=rss2

 http://consumer.einnews.com/rss/news/landscaping

6. Click “Save” when you are done to save the news feed. Add a few different news

feeds to the “Landscaping” category.
