RSS Feed Pagelet
Many websites provide an RSS feed allowing people to subscribe to it. An RSS Feed pagelet takes such a feed and displays the headlines inside a pagelet on your site. Visitors can click on an item in the pagelet to read the full article.

Implementation Details
The RSS Feed pagelet uses Karelia Services to handle RSS feeds. The server takes a feed and transforms it into HTML code that is displayed on your site. Karelia use MagpieRSS to power this service.
To ease the load on the sites whose RSS feed is to be displayed, each feed is cached and updated once an hour.
