The Common Ninja RSS Feed Carousel is a free, no-code widget that rotates items from any RSS feed in one band of your website. Paste the feed URL, set the timing, and add one line of embed code.
Because it takes a feed URL rather than a platform login, it works with almost any source: a blog, a news site, a podcast, a job board, or your own CMS.
Several items stay in view at once, the feed refreshes itself, items are clickable, and scrolling speed and display timing are adjustable. Works on 200+ platforms including WordPress, Wix, Shopify, Squarespace, and Webflow.
Why add an RSS feed carousel to your website?
A news strip that costs one band of the page
Industry headlines give a page a reason to be revisited, but a stacked list of them takes a whole section. A carousel holds several in one horizontal strip, so the news does not push your own content down.
Works with sources no widget covers
There is no dedicated widget for every publisher, but almost all of them still emit RSS. If the source has a feed URL, this displays it, which makes it the fallback when nothing platform-specific exists.
Bridge a blog to a site it does not live on
If the blog is on one platform and the marketing site on another, the feed URL joins them without an export or a migration, and without a second copy of the posts to keep in step.
Movement signals the section is live
A static list of headlines becomes invisible to a returning visitor. Gentle rotation says the strip is current, which is the point of putting news on a page at all.
How it works
Paste the feed URL
Give the widget any RSS or Atom feed address. Most blogs, news sites, and podcast hosts publish one, and no account, key, or integration is needed to read it.
Set the rotation
Choose how many items are visible at once and set the scrolling speed and display timing. Headlines need a moment to be read, so slower is usually better than faster here.
Embed one line of code
Copy the snippet from the Add to Website tab and paste it where the carousel belongs. The source publishes and your page follows, with nothing to update.
What you get with the Common Ninja RSS Feed Carousel
Scrolling speed and display timing
Control how fast items move and how long each holds. Headlines need reading time, and a news strip that rotates too quickly is noise rather than information.
Any feed, no credentials
An RSS or Atom URL is all it needs. No platform login, no API key, no developer application, and no per-source integration to maintain.
Clickable feed items
Each item links to the original article or episode, so the carousel routes visitors to the source instead of dead-ending on a summary.
Responsive and custom CSS
The visible item count adapts to the screen width so headlines stay readable on a phone, and a custom CSS field for exact design matching. One embed snippet, 200+ platforms.
Everything in the RSS Feed Carousel editor
Smooth Navigation with Arrows and Pagination
Easily browse through feed items using built-in arrows and pagination controls. These navigation features make it simple for users to explore your RSS content in an organized and seamless way.

Advanced Styling with Custom CSS

Easy Integration Across Platforms
Embedding the RSS Feed Carousel on your website is quick and straightforward. With just one line of code, you can integrate it into any platform, and updates sync automatically.

Quick answers
Use the carousel for several items rotating in one band, which is the classic news-strip shape and suits a homepage where height is scarce. Use the slider for one item at a time at full width, which suits headlines and summaries you actually want read. Both are free and both take the same feed URL.
Most publishers use a predictable path: try adding /feed, /rss, or /feed.xml to the site address. WordPress sites almost always answer at /feed, and podcast hosts list the feed URL in the show settings. If none of those work, the site may not publish one.
Both are standard feed formats and are handled the same way. If a source offers a choice of URLs, either is fine, and if one will not load it is worth trying the other before assuming a fault.
Three or four on a desktop width. Feed items are text, and more columns means each headline gets narrower and truncates sooner. The count drops automatically on narrow screens.
A public RSS feed is published for this purpose, and the carousel shows headlines and summaries that link back rather than reproducing whole articles. If you are building something commercial around a publisher's content, it is still worth reading their terms rather than assuming.
The carousel refreshes its content on its own, so new items appear without anyone editing the page. How quickly something shows depends on when the source publishes it to the feed, which is outside the widget's control.
It shows the items it last retrieved rather than breaking the page, so a source outage does not leave a hole in your layout. If a feed is permanently gone, swap the URL in the editor.
Yes. Each carousel is its own widget with its own feed and settings, so an industry-news strip and a podcast strip can sit on different pages. On the free plan each widget counts separately against your plan's widget allowance.
