Rss, Twitter and Facebook
What would be the best way to add an RSS feed on CP site? I have found some free software and vague instructions on how to add it, but it requires the user be able to access the html for the main home page. I am not sure if I could just make a seperate html document or what... It's a little confusing. Also, our paper, wants to expand its reach of potential users by utlizing the many social networking sites that are availible on the web. Are there any creative ways to promote, say, a facebook page or twitter account rather than just an ad or something?

    Are you on CP4 or CP5? I think that CP5 comes with RSS feeds.

    As for facebook promoting I would recommend inviting all your friends as fans of your newspaper. I would also make announcements on facebook. To promote social networking I would use http://www.paisano-online.com/ as an example (University of Texas-San Antonio's paper).

    But mostly I would try to wind all of your social networking profiles into your articles (if you are interviewing the Dean of Students ask for potential questions on facebook or twitter)
