Thanks Vinny, it does help. I guess tho what I'm looking for would be having the newsfeeds as storys. Maybe I need to do this with a static page? I'd like to have three or four different feeds on a page by themselves. I did what you suggested, and the page didn't show up and now I know it's because there was no story. But I'd like the feed to act as the story so people can go to the page and just see the news feeds. I hope this makes sense and thanks for your help. On another subject. Does anyone know where a newb can start learning php? I've used html and am familiar with javascript, so where can I start learning php?
