RSS Reader Widget: Keep Your Subscribers Up-To-Date

The RSS Reader Widget is a useful and convenient slot that has been recently developed by the MotoCMS team and added to the control panel. Now it’s possible for Moto CMS website owners who can set the RSS Feed within their websites and provide clients with the freshest news related to their projects.

The RSS Reader collects the project’s news and informs the RSS Feed subscribers about all the updates that take place in the project’s life. The principle of the RSS Feed’s work is simple: the subscribers can click, for example, on the news headline to see a short description of the news, open the original news in a new window, or even see the news block with headings, dates, and images right within the RSS Feed window. Due to the built-in RSS Reader Widget, Moto CMS website owners can easily set the parameters of their RSS Feeds. This advanced built-in widget opens the widest opportunities for managing and editing the RSS News Feed within the Moto CMS website.

If you want to create pins automatically from the content on your website, consider connecting the RSS feed to Pinterest business account.
