  3. Open the page were you want to add RSS content in edit mode.
  4. Place the cursor where you want to add the web part.
  5. Click on the Web Part button under the INSERT tab.
  6. Click on the Content Rollup category.
  7. Select the RSS Viewer part and click on the Add button.

  10. Define settings for how often the RSS feed should be updated and how many items should be shown on the page.
