Hello Everyone,  
Loren J. and myself are proud to present our port of the rss  
behavior to a mental extension.  
It should be super easy to install for everyone.

1. Download this file: [http://www.scidept.com/content/rss\_reader-0.2.tgz](http://www.scidept.com/content/rss_reader-0.2.tgz)
2. Copy to the root of your radiant installation.
3. Expand it.

It should copy feedreader.rb and a folder called “feedreader” to your  
/lib/ folder.  
It should copy the rss\_reader extension to your /vendor/extensions/  
folder.

Next, read the README.txt for an example usage (I will try to document  
all the tags on the wiki when I can set a new page up on it).  
All you need to do is set up your page to use the RSS Reader page type  
and put the \<r:feed\> tags in and you should be good to go.  
We have only made a small change to the tags, most are the same but we  
have added a “r:feed:date tag that takes format=”" arguments in the  
same format as strftime arguments.

Please let us know if it works/doesn’t work for you.

Enjoy,  
BJ Clark
