It is possible to integrate RSS (Really Simple Syndication) and ATOM (Atom Publishing Protocol) feeds in your Jimdo page. To read these feeds, people use so-called feed "readers" or "aggregators". The website owner supplies a link to his RSS feed and users subscribe to it, so they can follow it with their feed reader and see if there's any new content since the last time they checked.

Known Issues

If you're trying to display an RSS Feed on your Jimdo page and it's not working, this may be one reason why you're encountering difficulties:

Usually we distinguish between compressed and uncompressed RSS feeds.

For uncompressed feeds, you can generally use all the options of the Jimdo RSS Feed element ("Show Title," "Show Date," "Show Description," and "Number of Items"). For compressed feeds, there can be some issues which result in, for example, only being able to show the title of the RSS Feed, but not the chosen number of articles. Unfortunately, there's no real way for you to determine, when you're trying to use an RSS feed, which kind it is.

At this time, a solution for using compressed RSS feeds is not within the scope of our development, but we are working on an alternative option for embedding compressed RSS feeds..
