2. Let's Get it Started!

This tutorial was tested on Joomla version 1.5.12, installed with all sample data. For our example, the first thing we will do is to create a section and a category for our RSS Feed. This category will hold all our news articles.

• Now go to your Joomla administration back-end and click on the "Section Manager" from the "Content" menu.
  
• Then on the upper right corner of the screen click on "New" to create a new section.
  
• Then you see the page where you can enter the details of the new section.
  1. Here enter a title for the section, in our example "MyNews".
  2. Here enter an alias for the section, in our example "my-news".
     Don't forget to publish the section.
  
• Last click on "Save" to continue with the next step.
  
• Now click on the "Category Manager" from the "Content" menu.
  
• Then on the upper right corner of the screen click on "New" to create a new category.
  
• Now you see the page where you can enter the details of the new category.
  1. Here enter a title for the category, in our example "News Feed".
  2. Here enter an alias for the category, in our example "news-feed".
  3. Choose the right section for the category, which is the section you created before; in our example "MyNews".
     Don't forget to publish the category.
  
• Last click on "Save" to continue with the next step.
  
• Last but not least publish any of your news articles and assign them to section/category you have just created.
