Questions - Answers
Q. Can I make the Title of my own news feed into a clickable link?
A. Yes, this requires editing the .txt file that RSS News Feed creates for you.
Open the .txt file and look for the <Title> tag, immediately below that create this new tag:- <link> your url goes here </link>
Your Title is now a clickable link.
Q. Can I have more than one News Flash on the same page?
A. Yes, create each News Flash seperately with a different name. Next copy the Object Code from each html file that is created and paste it where you would like the news to show. Finally upload all the files required for each News Flash into the same folder on your server.
Q. Can I add images into my own news feeds?
A. Yes, but you have to put the full path to the image ie:- <img src="http://www.domain.com/image.jpg">.
