AIM Pages: Our Blog

Click a link to see that blog entry. Tip: Hover over a blog entry title with your mouse, and it will show a summary of that entry.

• An AIM Pages profile
• A blog (or really, anything else that has a feed, but we'll assume blog)
• A Feed Module or Multi-Feed Module.

1. Sign in to your profile, then hit the Edit Page button in the upper right of the page. This will put you in Quick Edit Mode.
2. In the left column, click the link that says "Edit your page in Advanced Edit Mode."
3. The Advanced Edit Mode bar will show up. Click "Add Modules:"

   

4. The module bar will open. Choose the category "Rich Text & Feeds", then with your mouse, click and drag the feed module down lower into your page:

   

5. As you drag, you'll see a ghostly outline of the feed module, and a blue line that shows you where the module will land when you let go of your mouse:

   

6. Drop the module in your profile, then click the "Update" button:

   

7. This is where you pick a feed. You can click "Browse the Feed Directory" to choose from a whole bunch of news and other kinds of feeds, or you can add your own feed URL by copying-and-pasting it into the box:

   

8. When you're done, click "Save," then click "Publish" at the top of the page to publish your updated profile.

1. At the top of your Journal, find the orange feed icon and link that says "Get the Feed."
2. Click "Get the feed manually." This will show the feed address.
3. There are two kinds of feed addresses here; you can choose either (I prefer Atom) -- highlight the full address and copy it with your mouse, so you can paste it into your Feed Module when you're ready.
