1Prerequisite - Grab your favorite RSS feed

There are numerous blogs or news sites over the internet. Most of them allow people to subscribe their recent entries / articles via RSS feeds. Go to one of your favorite websites, then grab their RSS feed address. (In the case that a RSS feed address begins with 'feed://...", you should burn it into standard format like 'http://...' via FeedBurner.)
Once you have copied a standard RSS feed address, you are ready to generate a gallery / showcase importing the feeds.

2Settings for an widget (Build your own wizard)

Move from an external site to 'Build your own' wizard of Pro Pack, then choose a Widget that contains a 'RSS feed' icon (supporting 'Sync RSS feeds' feature). Scroll down to 'Sync RSS Feeds' options, and turn 'sync' on. Choose 'Others' from 'feed generator' lists.
Copy & Paste the rss feed into address. Optionally, you can turn 'link' on. These are all steps to be done.

Mission completed!
