  5. Click the "Preview" button to make sure the RSS feed works. You should see a list of the RSS feed items.

  6. Click the "Save" button in the top right of the screen. Your RSS feed slide is added to the bottom of the item list.

If you have multiple RSS feeds in your loop, they will scroll across the screen.
