    If the feed contains copyright restrictions, you can’t.
    If the feed allows usage but requires that you comply with some rules (ie do not hide the links etc) , you must compay with the rules.
    If there are no copyright notice nor terms of use, you can just "take it".
    You "take it" by connecting to the feed directly through your code and read the xml file:
    Some example:
    newsrss.bbc.co.uk / rss / newsonline_uk_edition / world / rss.xml
    news.bbc.co.uk / rss / newsonline_world_edition / business /e-commerce / rss.xml
    news.bbc.co.uk / rss / newsonline_world_edition / asia-pacific / rss.xml
    news.bbc.co.uk / rss / newsonline_world_edition / americas / rss.xml
    news.bbc.co.uk / rss / newsonline_world_edition / africa / rss.xml
    rss.cnn.com / rss / cnn_topstories.rss
    rss.cnn.com / rss / cnn_world.rss
    rss.cnn.com / rss / cnn_us.rss
    rss.cnn.com / rss / si_topstories.rss
    rss.cnn.com / rss / money_latest.rss
    NOTES:
    1. I have added spaces around "/" to prevent trunkating. Remove them!
    2. Add, in front of each, the "hppt:/\" (in its correct format: this editor thinks it is a link!)

    I guess you are referring to rss feed of a website.
    You dont need any permission. The feed is meant to be taken by any one. Ofcourse some feeds require authorization, but most of them are for everyone.

    Just click on the rss icon in the browser’s address bar. From there you can subscribe to the feed using any feed reader.

    If you have a gmail account, you can use google’s feed reader to subscribe by giving your gmail login and password.

  10. Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your post seem to be running off the screen in Chrome. I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know. The design look great though! Hope you get the problem resolved soon. Kudos
