Yeah your are right. view/vH is only needed if the rss feed should be embedded in the overall design (and the feeder plugin needs to be installed). Like having a document and a small box where links to feeds are (the feed). The feeder will allow you having it on a document basis (instead of your document content for this page). ...but I guess the question remains how localhost:8888/feeder/index.html becomes localhost:8888/index.html salu2 > > > Both plugins are in the whiteboard in svn.
