I am trying to show the news feeds page in a customized way.  Currently, each news item displays the title, then below is a brief discription of the link.  What I'd like to do is only display the News item title, so users are forced to click on the Title (link) to the external site to read more details.

In other words, I want the news items to be a simple list of titles, without any descriptions.

Thanks!

If you check out your rss module properties in the back-end you should be able to select what is displayed, look for...

Administrator(back-end)-->Modules-->Site Modules-->Module Manager[Site]

Feed Title
Feed Description
Feed Image

I'm confused -all i have on the RSS Module options are attached in the screenshot.  I don't seem to have these three:

Feed Title
Feed Description
Feed Image

I'm sorry, I think I misunderstood your question...I was thinking of a RSS module. :-[

What I think you need to do is find the News Feed menu item through the Menu Manager something like...

Administrator(back-end)-->Menu-->Menu where your News Feeds are-->News Feeds

Once you have opened the News Feeds menu item along the right hand side all the way at the bottom you will find

Feed Image
Feed Description
Item Description
Word Count

You can change the Item Description to (*)Hide and it will just show a link. See the linky below and let me know if that is the result you are talking about.
