# Connect external content sources for articles

Source: https://www.goodbarber.com/help/shop/publish-and-manage-articles-r136/connect-external-content-sources-for-articles-a19/

**It is best to use one of our specific connectors when available for your CMS.
For example, do not use your RSS feed to connect your WordPress blog: it works much better with the WordPress connector.
It allows to implement advanced filters on the sections of your site or allow your readers to post comments from your application.*
