The Common Ninja RSS Feed widget is a free, no-code embed that displays articles from any RSS or Atom feed on your website.
Pull from your own blog, a news source, a podcast, a partner site, or any feed URL, choose a layout (grid, list, ticker, carousel), customize the styling, and paste one line of embed code on 200+ platforms including Webflow, Notion, Ghost, Google Sites, Framer, BigCommerce, WordPress, and Squarespace.
The feed refreshes automatically when new items publish, so your site stays current without a manual update.
Why add an RSS Feed widget to your website?
Display your latest blog posts anywhere on your site
Your homepage, your landing page, your sidebar, your footer. Pull from your own blog's RSS feed and the widget keeps your latest 3, 5, or 10 articles visible without a content management plugin or a manual update. New posts publish to your blog, the widget refreshes, the visible articles update.
Pull external content into your page
Industry news from a trusted publication, partner-blog highlights, podcast episode releases, government-portal announcements, a competitor's release notes. Any RSS source becomes a curated content stream on your page, refreshed automatically as the source publishes.
Auto-refresh so the site never goes stale
The widget polls the source feed on a schedule and updates the rendered items when new content publishes. No cron jobs, no plugin updates, no embed-code rewrites. Edit a blog post, hit publish, and the article appears in every embed of the widget across your site.
Different from LinkedIn, Twitter, or Instagram feed widgets
Social-platform feeds (LinkedIn, X, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook) require platform-specific OAuth, API access, and are governed by each platform's terms. RSS feeds are an open web standard that any blog or news source publishes natively. Use this widget for blogs, podcasts, news, and partner-content sources; use a dedicated platform widget (like Common Ninja's Instagram Feed) for native social.
How it works
Paste your feed URL
Drop in any RSS or Atom feed URL: your own blog's /feed, a news source's RSS endpoint, a podcast's RSS URL, a partner blog, or any feed your visitors should see. Add more than one feed if you want to aggregate multiple sources into a single widget.
Pick a layout and customize
Choose grid, list, ticker (horizontal-scrolling marquee), or carousel layout. Set how many items show, whether thumbnails appear, how titles and excerpts are styled, and how often the widget polls for new items. Pick a skin from the design library or layer Custom CSS for a pixel-level brand match.
Embed on your site
Copy the one-line embed snippet and paste it on your page on Webflow, Notion, Ghost, Google Sites, Framer, WordPress, or any of the 200+ supported platforms. New posts in the source feed appear in your embedded widget automatically — no republish, no re-paste, no manual update.
What you get with the RSS Feed widget
Multiple feed types — RSS, Atom, JSON Feed
Paste any standard syndication URL: RSS 2.0, RSS 1.0/RDF, Atom 1.0. The widget reads each format's items, titles, descriptions, links, publish dates, and thumbnails so the rendered output is consistent regardless of which format the source emits.
Multiple layout options
Grid (uniform tiles with thumbnail and excerpt), list (vertical reading list with title and timestamp), ticker (horizontal-scrolling marquee for breaking-news strips), carousel (horizontal scroll with one or several visible at a time). Switch between layouts in the editor without re-pasting the feed URL.
Multiple RSS Feed skins
Pick from a library of pre-designed skins (minimal, magazine, news-strip, dark, blog-card, podcast-card) covering common use cases. Each skin is a fully styled starting point; tune typography, spacing, and color from there.
Full RTL support
The widget renders correctly in right-to-left languages (Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Urdu) with mirrored layout, reversed thumbnail positioning, and right-aligned text. Useful for multilingual sites and for businesses serving RTL audiences without a separate widget setup.
Everything in the editor
Ticker Animation
Adding an RSS Feed widget to your site will add a sense of activity by displaying an animated "ticker". Grab the user's attention immediately by using it.
RSS Feed Refresh automatically
When toggled on, the "auto-refresh" option in the RSS Feed widget will keep refreshing and updating the feed over time.
A variety of RSS feed types
Using the RSS Feed widget, you can choose between Tabs and Mixed feeds. Organize all your tabs by feed order, while making a mixed feed by mixing the RSS feeds.
Multiple Layouts Options
Several layout options are available for the RSS Feed widget so it can be customized to match your website's overall design.

Quick answers
Yes. The free plan covers one RSS feed widget with no time limit and no credit card. Upgrade only when you need additional widgets, more feeds aggregated into one, premium skins, faster refresh rates, or advanced features like keyword filtering and per-source styling.
No — this widget displays RSS feeds, it doesn't generate them. If you need to create an RSS feed for your blog or content (so subscribers and aggregators can pull your articles), most blog platforms (WordPress, Ghost, Substack, Medium, Blogger) emit a feed automatically at /feed or /rss. The Common Ninja RSS Feed widget reads an existing feed URL and renders the items on your page.
RSS is an open web standard that any blog, news site, or podcast publishes natively at a public URL. Social platforms (LinkedIn, X, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook) don't publish RSS feeds — they require platform-specific OAuth, API access, and are governed by each platform's terms of service. Use this RSS Feed widget for blogs, podcasts, news, and content sources. For native Instagram posts, use the dedicated Common Ninja Instagram Feed widget (and similar dedicated widgets for other platforms).
Yes. The widget polls the source feed on a schedule and updates the rendered items when new content appears. Refresh rate depends on the plan (free plans poll on a slower interval, paid plans poll more frequently). New posts in the source feed appear in every embed of the widget without any republish or re-paste.
Yes. Add multiple feed URLs in the editor and the widget merges items from all sources, sorts them by publish date, and renders them as one unified stream. Useful for partner-blog roundups, multi-author publications, and news-aggregator pages. You can also configure separate widgets per feed if you want each source styled differently.
Build the widget in the Common Ninja editor (paste feed URL, pick layout, customize skin), copy the embed snippet or URL, and paste it into your site: Webflow via an Embed element; Notion via /embed with the embed URL; Ghost via a Code or HTML card on the post or page; Google Sites via Insert → Embed → Embed code; Framer via a Code Embed element. Edits in the editor push to every embed without re-pasting.
Yes. Set how many feed items render at once (3, 5, 10, all), how many characters of each item's description show before being truncated, whether thumbnails appear, and whether long titles wrap or truncate. Useful for fitting the widget into a tight sidebar or stretching it across a homepage hero band.
Yes. Each layout (grid, list, ticker, carousel) adapts column count, item sizing, and thumbnail behavior across mobile, tablet, and desktop breakpoints. The ticker layout pauses on tap so mobile visitors can read the headline before it scrolls past, and the carousel layout switches to swipe gestures instead of arrow buttons on touchscreens.

RSS, which stands for Really Simple Syndication, is a web feed format that is used to publish frequently updated content, such as blog posts or news articles. It enables users to subscribe to a website or feed and receive updates automatically, without having to visit the website or manually check for updates. RSS feeds are typically formatted in XML and can be read by a variety of software applications, such as web browsers, feed readers, and news aggregators. RSS is commonly used as a way to syndicate and distribute content across the internet, allowing users to access a wide range of information and updates from multiple sources in a convenient and easy-to-use format.
An RSS Widget is a graphical user interface element that displays content from an RSS feed on a website or application. It is typically embedded in a website or application as a small box or frame that shows a list of recent updates or headlines from the RSS feed. The RSS Widget can be customized to show different types of content, such as news articles, blog posts, or podcast episodes, and can be set to update automatically as new content is published in the RSS feed. The RSS Widget provides an easy and convenient way for users to access the latest updates from an RSS feed without having to visit the source website or use a separate feed reader.

- Enhanced user engagement: An RSS Widget can keep users engaged with a website by providing a stream of fresh and interesting content that encourages them to visit the website more frequently.
- Increased traffic and visibility: By providing an easy way for users to access and share the website's content, an RSS Widget can help to drive more traffic to the website and increase its visibility on the internet.
- Improved search engine optimization (SEO): An RSS Widget can improve a website's search engine optimization by providing regularly updated content that can be indexed by search engines, which can improve the website's ranking in search results.
- Enhanced user experience (UX): An RSS Widget can improve a website's user experience by providing a convenient and user-friendly way for users to access and read the latest content from the website.
To find the RSS feed for a website, you can look for a link to the RSS feed on the website itself. The link to the RSS feed is often found in the website's footer, or in the "About" or "News" sections of the website. Some websites also have an orange button with the letters "RSS" on it that you can click on to access the RSS feed.
If you are unable to find a link to the RSS feed on the website, you can try adding "feed" or "rss" to the end of the website's URL. For example, if the website's URL is "https://example.com", you can try accessing the RSS feed at "https://example.com/feed" or "https://example.com/rss".
If you are still unable to find the RSS feed for a website, you can try using an online RSS feed finder tool, such as Feedity or FindRSS. These tools allow you to enter the website's URL and will automatically search for and provide the RSS feed for the website, if one is available.
