The following is the error I got when saving a news feed viewlet,after pasting in an url address, under shared dashboards/my profle in jazz.net. Any idea why? Thanks.

There was a problem loading the feed:
The feed URL is malformed (no protocol: www.google.ca)

Jakub

Hi,

make sure to prefix the feed-url with the protocol (most commonly "http://"). It seems, the feed viewlet is not working if you just type in the URL of the feed without specifying the protocol.

Thanks for your reply.. I pasted in the following exact url from the google site,

http://www.google.ca/

then click on save, and I am getting a different error this time as the following:

News Feed
There was a problem loading the feed:
The feed XML markup is malformed (The entity name must
immediately follow the '&' in the entity reference.)

The URL you use is not a valid news-feed but a normal website. What kind of newsfeed do you want to add from Google? An example for a valid newsfeed is the Jazz feed: https://jazz.net/pub/community/news/feed.rss?externalize=true
