Configuring news feeds

To subscribe to an RSS feed on another site, click administer » aggregator.

Once there, select the add feed tab at the top of the aggregator administration page. Drupal will then ask for the following:

• Title -- The text entered here will be used in your news aggregator, within the administration configuration section, and as title for the news feed block. As a general rule, use the web site name from which the feed originates.
• URL -- Here you'll enter the fully-qualified URL for the feed for the site you want to subscribe to.
• Update interval -- The update interval is how often Drupal will automatically access the RSS URL for the site for fresh content. The 1 hour default is typically a good minimum to use. Accessing another site's RSS page more frequently can be considered impolite because it requires the other site's server to handle your automatic requests. To take advantage of this feature, note that cron.php must be configured to have your feeds updated regularly. Otherwise, you'll have to manually update feeds one at a time within the news aggregation administration (administer » aggregator) section.

Once you submit your new feed, check to see if it is working properly. Select update items on the main news aggregation page. If you do not see any items listed for that feed, edit the feed and make sure that the URL was entered correctly.
