How to Embed a Live News Feed on Any Website

Turn your RSS feeds into a beautiful, auto-updating content block and drop it on any website with one line of code.

A live news feed on your website keeps it fresh without you touching it. RssDrop lets you turn any RSS feed into an embeddable widget — a news wall, a list, or a scrolling ticker — with zero coding.

One iframe tag. That's all it takes to embed a live, auto-updating feed on any website, blog, or portfolio.

What types of widgets are available?

  1. 1

    News Wall

    A grid of cards with images, titles, and descriptions. Great for homepages and press pages.

  2. 2

    List

    A compact vertical list of headlines. Ideal for sidebars and news sections.

  3. 3

    Ticker

    A horizontal scrolling strip of headlines. Perfect for adding motion and urgency to a page.

How to create and embed a widget

  1. 1

    Go to Widgets

    Click 'Widgets' in your RssDrop sidebar.

  2. 2

    Click '+ New Widget'

    Choose a name, layout type, and the feed or bundle to pull content from.

  3. 3

    Copy the embed code

    Click the code icon on your widget. An iframe tag is copied to your clipboard.

  4. 4

    Paste into your site

    Drop the iframe into any HTML page, WordPress post, Webflow section, or Notion page.

  5. 5

    Done — it updates itself

    The widget pulls new content automatically. You never touch it again.

Tip:

Use a Bundle as the widget source to combine multiple feeds — for example, show content from 5 industry blogs in one single widget.

Preview before you embed

RssDrop lets you preview exactly how the widget looks before copying the code. Click the eye icon on any widget in your dashboard to see a live render inside the dashboard itself.
