I loaded it and ran a test [[RSS|here]], but it doesn't seem to be working; the RSS widget that Garrett suggested renders much better. Let me know if you can get it working properly and/or whether Garrett's works better either way.
I think the SimplePie library needs to be installed to get this RSS feed parser to work.

It will be better than the RSS Include that Garrett and I have been using because the feed content is included in the page source and the search engines see a fresh page of content every time they crawl. It will help populate empty pages with content. '''IF''' you can get it working will you set the default number of feeds to 15 instead of 5.--[[User:OmniMediaGroup|OmniMediaGroup]] 07:25, 18 May 2007 (PDT)
:A few weeks ago I had tried to install/run SimplePie's MW extension from their ''own web site'' before you referenced the ''MW-meta'' SP extension. In both instances I couldn't get it to work, so I ended up deleting the entire set of files off the server. (That's why it's not rendering at all.)
:Are you positive SP will work better than the RSS widget Garrett found? If so, I'll make yet another effort (3rd time's the charm?) to get the SP reader going. [[User:Snerfling|Snerfling]] 07:53, 18 May 2007 (PDT)
