RSS Feed Formatting
For RSS feeds, we currently read the following tags: title, link, description.
Our RSS feed channels read up to 10 items.
How it All Works
- Your visitor clicks on your add content link
- If your visitor isn't logged into CueStart, they will be asked to do so
- Your visitor is presented with an 'Add Content' form that is partially filled out with your submitted content
- Your visitor selects the appropriate channel and category, where applicable, and then clicks on the 'Add Content' button
- Your RSS feed/web link/audio link is then added to your visitor's start page
Trouble Shooting
- We only accept a limited range of special characters for titles and URLs. If the content isn't formatted correctly, your visitor will be presented with a blank
field for that particular input. Some illegal characters include " < %
- Titles are restricted to 40 characters or less.
