How can this be done?

Such as, a block that reads RSS feeds from any source?

Yes, that's what I'm referring to.

My main intent would be to have it get new articles from my blog, but would like to also use it to get updates from other RSS feeds.


Thanks,
Mike

This is going to be a block that we will definetly add to the core functionality of Simple Portal, although it may have to wait until version 2.06. ;)

A temporary work around is to create an html block, then grab your RSS feed that you want to use.  Then go to this website

http://www.rss-to-javascript.com/p/138.html

Place your RSS address in there and edit it how you would like it to be displayed.  Retrieve your code them add it to your block, it should work mine does.

Thanks, I'm using it now and it works perfectly. I'd love to see a SP version though :)

I did it creating a feedburner feed from the website I'm interested in.

Then in 'publicize' there's a feature called "BuzzBoost",  there you can choose settings on how your HTML feed will look like.

When you finishing editing that it will give you code to insert in an HTML Block.

Look at it in www.pearljamexico.net,  it's the Noticias PearlJam.com one.  ;)

Hope this helps.
