Hi Robbie,
Unfortunately, you cannot load XML from another domain into Timeline, or
any AJAX-driven web application. This is a security measured
implemented in all browsers to prevent all sorts of nastiness from
occurring when Javascript is allowed to dynamically load anything it
wants from anywhere.
The only way to get around this for now is to host the XML on the same
domain/host as your blog.
Good luck!
