    Sorry this a very basic question but I want to find out how to create an aggregated news feed for a web page......
    taking news feeds from many different sources and displaying in time order....

    You want to combine other news sources into one?

    There are lots of ways to do this.

    One is to use a site like feedblendr. You give it the RSS of each of the news feeds and it combines them into one feed. I think it even gives you a html version that you can use.

    If you want to customize the look and feel it you can get (for free) aggregators (eg: php feedreader). And parse the feed and display it how you like.

    There are lots of widgets out there that do this as well, that you can just pass the feeds into and post the widget on your site, if this is what you mean

    thx for your help. as you probably guessed im no techy

    i made a feed at feedreadr but there are two things that dont work....

    1. the date of the artical doesnt show.
    2. the name of source doesnt show.....

    id also like to try and make some time slot breaks (eg new in last ten mintutes)
    im using rss2html.php by feedforall.com. Could you offer me any more pointers..

    i cant see where to change the setup for the time and source publication ??

    Hi
    Does anyone know of any tools that can sort RSS feeds by relevance?

    I.e: Take feeds from different sources and display them on your site according to relevance to a particular keyword or theme?

    Cheers
    Chris.
