    • Column Layout - creates a column to the left of the feed in the proportions you select. Selected by default is 0/100 which is a single column. Any other column layout option will create another content column to the left in the proportions you decide.
    • Feed URL - place the feed URL. This varies by the system you're pulling the feed from. If it’s from a wordpress blog, you can add /feed/ to the end of the blog, category, or tag url (eg. https://blog.uwgb.edu/hr/feed/) . See the list of Campus Calendar feeds. 
    • Feed Type - If it's a feed from news.uwgb.edu, select "News." If not, select "Other."
    • Number of Items – enter the number of feed items you want to appear on the page.
    • Description – enable this to display the description of the feed item.
    • Published Date - enable this to display the published date of the feed item.
    • View More Link – enter the URL of the site, or area of the site, that the feed is pulled from (this is a regular URL, not a feed URL).
    • Reverse Layout – enabling this flips the columns so that the feed is in the left column and the content is in the right column.
  • Click Apply.
  • Edit the textual content in the widget using the rich content editor.
  • Click Save.
