    I'm using GD for hosting as I build out my site. I wanted to add a RSS feed to the home page to get some PR during the build out. No matter what I do I always get "Feed not available" where I put the script.... any ideas??

    If GoDaddy closed port 80 then you have to display RSS with javascript. But... this is not so SEO-ish as if you can do same thing with PHP.

    ps: When I say 'closed port 80' I mean your PHP can not grab a content from external site and parse it. Not really closed, only from inside...

    :)
    Stop! Wait!...

    When I post that, I almost change my mind. Yes, absolutely, it may be a reason. It is true - if your hosting company do not want you to parse content from external sites (beacose of bandwith, security, etc.) thay can make a rule in their firewall and your site can not get content, rss from other sites.

    But... GoDaddy to do that?... GoDaddy is too big company. Only poor or bad ISP can do such config, if you ask me.

    Sorry, duceman, for this confusion. :)
