    Is it possible to get an external news feed to appear in the sitewide activity page?

    Hi Sam @investa

    Good to hear from you again.  Yes, you can go to Appearance>>Widgets and select “Sitewide Sidebar” and then drag the “RSS” widget into that area.  Then you can paste in the url of your news feed and (optionally) provide a title. The process can be repeated as many times as you want to list more feeds. I’m sure there are a slew of RSS plugins that you can optionally install that might provide more features and options – but the basic one should get you started.

    Hope this helps.
