News/Content Feeds
News/content feeds effectively display diverse information arranged chronologically on a single web page. They are commonly used to showcase news articles, links to external news sources, and highlight videos, testimonials, personnel profiles, and other relevant content. It is best to use content tags with news feeds, as they can be filtered according to the website's requirements for better organization.
For a comprehensive look at how news and content feeds can be used, visit the Atkinson Centre for Society and Child Development website. They utilize the feature on several pages like Policy Monitor, Publications, Videos, Newsletters, and Presentations. This is just one example of the feature's versatility and customization potential.
Adding news feed pages to a website requires customization by Education Commons Drupal Developers. However, no formal approval is needed to add this feature to a specific website.
