   A client wants me to add an RSS feed to a Page used as a portal. I know how to create a static front page in WP, but adding content in doesn't seem to work.

   I added code from a site referencing using RSS code from the Dashboard but when I pasted it into a custom page template and tested it, I got a blank page. Nothing.

   I found the above link via a google search.

   My client wants a portal page where daily news comes in from another source. Any tips for how I can do this? I must not be typing in the correct words in a search here to find help for this.

   Would this be a matter of putting an RSS feed code in the custom template (for this one, I'm creating portal.php based on page.php) or should I use a plug-in like AWSOM News to allow php functions within content areas?

   Super. That seems to work real well. Very easy to use!

   I entered my rss link into that site, received the code, pasted into a AWSOM News Announcement Plugin block (a plug-in which allows code to be run in a spot within a post or page) and added the AWSOM insertion marker into my page text. Bingo it works.

   Thanks!
