This post is the place where anyone with updates on the latest budget news can post new information or comments. Also, I attached the link to the UTLA website.

rss feeds

RSS stands for Real Simple Syndication. It is like a subscription and is used for things that publish and update often. Most RSS feeds have a free subscription.

 

Simple steps to add RSS feeds to a WordPress blog.

1. Start with this website. It is Education Week and has a list of different education based RSS feeds.

2. Choose an RSS based on the list of RSS feeds.

3. Click on the RSS icon. That will open up a new window. Once that new window is open, copy the url.

4. Next, on the dashboard in WordPress go to widgets.

5. From widgets, drag the widget titled RSS over to the right (where your widgets are housed).

6. From there you will be asked to input information from the widget you just found (name, description and finally paste the url).

7. Then hit update and it is finished.
