Can I add a recent articles feed on my homepage?

Yes, you can create a Recent Articles feed using listings and put them on your homepage. Here is how to do it:

1. First make sure that you have Articles application installed on your site. If you do not have it, you can install it from Memberkit.com Application Gallery.

2. Go to Application Manager -> Articles folder and right click on Articles form folder. Give your listing a name such as "recent".  Select "Add New Listing" option.

3. On the first step "Choose Listing Type", choose "Article Listing" option.

4. Drag and drop "title" and "lead" questions to the listing. Make sure the "More" link points to "articledisplay.html". Then save your listing.

5. Publish your site and go to /articles/recent.html to test your feed. If you do not like how it works, you can change the listing from File Manager -> Articles -> recent.html file.

6. Once you have the feed ready, you can then add it to the homepage. Simply add this to your homepage:
{TEMPLATE:articles/recent.html}
