I was wondering how I would parse news feeds generated by E-Blah to xml so I can display them on my website index. I would like to get some more content on my homepage so that it looks more filled out.



Even if your idea seems whack, stick with it and make it happen.

Cool. What script did you use? I was trying rss2html, but I needed a physical xml file to load the feed from.

EDIT:
Sorry, I didn't realize that E-Blah generated xml on the fly. I was looking at the source for BoardIndex.pl and saw that there was code to dynamically create an rss feed. Thanks for your help.
