With the help of the external content blocks, you can include RSS feeds, external media or GoogleApps documents etc. into a page.

**HTTP username**: Provide a username if you wish to access a feed that requires authentication. This is the username to access the feed and not your portfolio system.

**HTTP password**: Provide a password to access a feed that requires authentication. This is the password to access the feed and not your portfolio system.

**Items to show**: Decide how many of the latest items in the feed you wish to display. You can choose up to 20.

Unfortunately, Firefox and Chrome do not display the RSS feed icon for a page immediately near the address bar anymore. In Firefox you will have to go to *View → Toolbars → Customize* and then drag the RSS icon to your toolbar. It lights up orange / white when a feed is available.

If you use Chrome, you will have to install the `RSS Subscription Extension <https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/nlbjncdgjeocebhnmkbbbdekmmmcbfjd>`_.

If your feed is not updated automatically, please ask your site administrator to check the *cron* settings.

**Block title**: Choose a title for your embedded content.

You can only display the content, but not immediately edit documents, spreadsheets or presentations. You will have to be logged in to your Google (Apps) account to do so. You can use this block with a regular, personal Google account or if you have a Google Apps account via an institution, e.g. your school or university.
