RSS feeds usually contain a number of items. Use the Enter height option to control the amount of space a feed takes up in a column. The default and minimum height is 310. If you wish to increase the space used by the RSS feed, enter a higher value. If an RSS feed greater than 310 is taking up too much room, decrease the value.
