Step 2. Copy the RSS feed URL to your clipboard.

Step 3. Go to http://www.surfing-waves.com/feed.htm. This guy was nice enough to make a free RSS widget you can add to your site. Donate to him if you appreciate it.

Step 4. Add the RSS feed URL to the field provided at the above mentioned website http://www.surfing-waves.com/feed.htm

Step 5. Customize the way you want your feed to be displayed.

Step 6. Copy the widget code to your clipboard.

Step 7. You can insert the feed as simple <HTML/Javascript> widger or you can paste the code In a static page or post page using the editor: click on Insert > HTML and paste the widget code in the field provided. Once that’s entered the widget will appear on the page. You’ll have to remove the promotional box from the widget before you can resize and drag it.
