How do I add UMBC News and Magazine headlines to my Sites website?
A new integration with UMBC News and Magazine allows users of Sites@UMBC websites to pull a feed of headlines and display them in the new template (optionally, users may also filter the headlines by tag).
These headlines can be clicked by website visitors to view the article on the platform that it was originally posted on.
