Create a feed and add news monitors (WatchPoints)

Create a feed on any topic to help you and your readers find news and updates on any number of websites and RSS feeds. Feeds are easy to create and can be made public or private and shared with colleagues and friends. Best of all, you control the content. By specifying where to monitor news and updates, you create a streamlined listing of news and updates from all over the Internet.

Others can follow your feed online, by email, on their mobile devices, on a gadget running on another website blog or profile, or as tweets on Twitter. You can even designate others as contributing editors to your feed allowing them to add content. Forget desktop RSS readers and cumbersome browser bookmarks. They are now a thing of the past!

Add WatchPoints to your feed

WatchPoints are sources of content for your feed. WatchPoints can be other RSS feeds, or even designated blocks of text and graphics on a web page (see bottom of this page for directions on using the WebPartner toolbar to pull updated content from the latter).
Click on "My Feeds" tab at the top of this page
Pick your feed from the list
Add a standardized news feed for WebPartner to monitor like RSS, Atom, or RDF

Example:

You will then see a dialog that looks like this:
Add a news feed dialog

Feed Name - Is whatever you decide. It is never displayed.
News Source - This field is displayed in front of every headline. Please attribute your headlines to their proper source. It is required. If we detect that headlines are not attributed to their source you may have your account suspended.
Feed URL - is the URL to the actual RSS, Atom, or RDF feed. See below for a tutorial on how to find a news feed.
Add feed to this feed - Pick one of your feeds to add the feed to.
How often to monitor - WebPartner will monitor this news feed on this interval. If the news feed changes WebPartner will produce a new headline on your WebPartner feed and also Tweet it if your account is hooked up to Twitter.

Or add a solo headline with an article link

Sometimes you just want to point to an interesting article.
Use this when you don't want to monitor a site for changes

Example:

Hook your new feed up to your Twitter account

When you select this option, WebPartner will automatically Tweet new headlines to your account
Use the Tweet link to Tweet headlines that occurred prior to hooking up your Twitter account

Example:


WatchPoints on WebPages:
If you would like to designate blocks of text and graphics on a web page as WatchPoints that generate headlines when changes and updates occur, you can use our Internet Explorer toolbar. Create new feeds from the toolbar Designate blocks of text and graphics as WatchPoints when there are no appropriate RSS feeds available on the page. With the toolbar, you can also add RSS, Atom, and RDF feeds to your WebPartner feed. With the toolbar, you can also add solo headlines (one-time - not monitored for changes) to your feed by navigating to the page and clicking on "New Headline".
