Description:
Provides a RSS feed menu for your members to find interesting news articles.
RSS is a great way to get information about latest news from other websites. I read RSS feeds often to keep current and to educate myself on the latest technology, products, current events and other interesting news. I then re-post the very best articles on my forum for my members to discuss.
Each RSS feed is setup by the admin so members can read the latest news.
