Right now a brute workaround would be to emblazon your logo over all the images on your RSS feed so that they show up on the tile.Īnother gripe we have is that, as with all live tiles for sites and apps, clicking on the tile takes you to the website home page, not to the article whose picture you saw. We would especially like to have some control over a lower banner overlay on the tile to make sure the site's name is always displayed, or to cycle a custom frame as part of the polling cycle so that users know what site those updates are from. It might be worth watching to see what updates Microsoft rolls out for pinned sites on the Start screen. There are many more customizations available on Microsoft's documentation for Pinned Sites, but many of them are only supported in the desktop version of IE. Insert the line of code below in the section of your code. Use an additional meta tag to control what page your site will start on. Sometimes a user may pin your site to their Start screens from a secondary page, but you might like to direct them to your home page every time they open your pinned site. So if you changed your code to update every hour, here's what your code should look like: But if that's not right for you either, go into your code and look for the line below:Ĭhange the number after "frequency=" to reflect the number of minutes you would like to use as an interval. If you copied the code directly from BuildMyPinnedSite, the frequency will have been set at 30-minute intervals. Microsoft only allows updates up to every 30 minutes for now and not more frequently. If that isn't frequent enough for your site, you may set it to update every 30 minutes, 60 minutes, six hours or 12 hours. If the basics aren't enough for you, and you'd like a lot more control over the way your site's live tile behaves, here's how to make changes to the code for more control over your tile.īy default, the RSS feed of your website will be pinged once a day to check for updates. As long as your RSS feed has images in it, the tile will rotate through your most recent five articles with images. You now have a basic, functioning live tile for your website that will feature beautiful live updates from your RSS feed.
