6 Steps to Creating a Google Reader RSS Widget in WordPress

Posted on June 18th, 2007 admin 10 comments

Want to add an Google Reader Feed to WordPress? It only takes a few minutes and the results are automatic.

6 Steps to Creating a Google Reader RSS Widget in WordPress
1. Setup your RSS feeds in Google Reader.
2. Assign your feed(s) to a folder in Google Reader
3. Set the Folder as Public so Google will create an RSS feed for this folder.
4. Click on “add a clip to your site”. This creates the Javascript code for the RSS feed.
5. Customize the Javascript code and copy the code from the script window.
6. Create a new Text Widget in WordPress and paste the code in the window.

Time to view your site and make any changes if necessary. Could it get any easier than that to add live content to your web site?

  What do you do when you “customize” the code before putting it in the text widget?

  @A.Mercer - see the image above. That should help out. I like to change the title, color, and number of items displayed.

  I followed your steps for my wordpress blog but it’s not working. i’ve read on the wordpress forum that we can’t use plug ins and javascript isn’t enabled. Advise?
