How to Get RSS in SharePoint
You can add an internal or external Real Simple Syndication (RSS) Feed into your SharePoint site. An internal feed shows a list of recently updated items, like lists, events or documents. An external feed shows a list of items and content from an external website. Any website that displays the RSS Feed logo can be added to SharePoint. RSS Feeds are displayed through the RSS Viewer Web Part on your site page.
