    There is but you aren't supposed to do that. By using their feed you agree to link to the full story.

    I have messed around with that myself in the past :cool: which reminds me I need to change that :p

    Sorry misread that

    Yes you can do that if you like...Just set a blank target in the url just like you would on any link

    See:
    printf("<dt><b><a href='%s' target=new>%s</a></b></dt>",

    You should be able to change it there

    Hi
    I recently introduced the RSS "technique" to my beloved customers activating the RSS Service on all my websites.
    Do you think that besides the increased publicity because of our RSS subscribers, are there other benefits for enabling the RSS service? I mean, does that count for Google, MSN or the other important search engines?

    What do you think about daily press pop, I am using it for some time now, but can't say that it is so easy to manage the subscription everything needs to be done in hand, no automation, how about this in sindic8

    Hi all,

    Apologies for bringing this thread back up, but I recently asked a question about this and was pointed here. The code worked a treat and was so easy. however I think I'm making a fundamental mistake as when it all displays on the pages I am getting a load of html code showing after the actual news feed text, like this:

    French report rejects plan to aid minorities
    PARIS (Reuters) - A report drawn up for the French government has rejected calls for "positive discrimination" to help minorities find jobs, dealing a blow to Interior Minister and presidential hopeful Nicolas Sarkozy.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/reuters/worldNews?g=5868"/>

    Also It is displaying different news items to what is showing as their latest news items. I added the page URL to the code, should I be adding something different?

    Thanks

    BTW ysf1, your avatar is rather off putting because in my head I read all your posts in an Alan P voice!!!

    Also.. I added
    rel='nofollow'
    Code (markup):
    in the A href tag to stop pagerank drain.

    Here's a free site that allows you to create "custom RSS" feeds.

    http://www.greatfreecontent.com allows you to add unique content to your site by creating a super feed from over 9000 feeds in the directory. You select which categories to include and how you want the feeds that you select to be displayed

    Make sure to add your feeds to the directory.

    Yeah i have a similar problem on a lot of feeds, I think that it is to do with the image file. I've just searched through lots of feeds to find ones that do not have images; this is very limiting.

    If some one could tweak the code so that it displays images and only takes the first article in the feed it would be much appreciated :)

    All I want for christmas is a new feed :)

    My dad will be pleased :)

    He used to be a scriptwriter for the BBC, did the two Ronnies, Les Dawson, Ken Dodd etc.

    The letters to the airlines are all genuine, he had to stop in the end as the FAA, were getting fed up of him wasting the airlines time!
