<?php include_once(ABSPATH.WPINC.'/rss.php');
wp_rss('http://feeds.tothetech.com/tothetech/webmaster', 5); ?>

The above piece of code which includes the external RSS inside your wordpress. You can increase number of RSS feeds and count syntax : wp_rss(‘feed URL’, count); we hope this above tip useful for you.

If you are already familiar with .htaccess then it is easy. This file .htaccess is present inside your WWW folder where you need to edit this file and insert the following code in the first part which redirects your yourdomain.com/feed to http://feeds.feedburner.com/tothetech.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !FeedBurner    [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !FeedValidator [NC]
RewriteRule ^feed/?([_0-9a-z-]+)?/?$ http://feeds.tothetech.com/tothetech [R=302,NC,L]
</IfModule>

I have entered the following entries in the first part of .htaccess and please not do not take this rewrite conditions to the end of .htaccess file.

There are many open source Content management system, but if you are testing a site or learning how to work with the CMS. You can take my following suggestions.

1. Install WAMP server ( local web server for windows with MySQL + PHP + Apache) and start all services (Note : If you installed IIS then it should be stopped otherwise you may face error)

2. Download your Open Source script for instance WordPress

3. Unzip WordPress inside htdocs or www folder

4. Go to your browser and type this http://localhost/wordpress

5. WordPress will ask for installation details like username and password for MySQL. I hope WAMP doesn’t have any password for MySQL and username must be root.

6. Proceed with installations and do necessary changes, tests  in your local machine and try later in your web server
