Hi everyone

My knowledge about RSS is quite limited. What is know is just what i have read here and on some other help pages.

But what I am looking for is that
"I way of displaying news from some other webpages"
I want to display some Technology related news from two different websites on page (colum wise i.e. One column for one Website).

Both of the webpages provide RSS Feed.
But what should i do to display them on the main page ???
Is there any Specific module ?? or shoudl i have to creat a user block for that.

I have no idea.
SO need some help and Guide line.

1. Install XHLD
2. Add feeds
3. Enable xhld's block on main page or select XHLD as module for main page

Hi
XHLD is working fine.
But i want to change its way of showing news.
Let me explain. I have two RSS feed.
"Site A" shows game news and "Site B" shows Software news.
And i want to have something similar like this site
http://www.merlinean.com/
i.e News from one site should display in one block.

What should I DO ????
Edit Latest Headline block? or Creat new block or is just a matter of settings ?

the instructions are in the xhld folder.

basically you just clone the site and rename it xhld1 and xhld2 etc etc.

this also means you can have different jumping off points if you choose.

If I am getting is right,

That means to put RSS from two different site likehttp://www.merlinean.com/, I Have to use two instances of XHLD. ??

Is this what you are suggesting ?

no you can pull multiple rss feeds in from many sites but to pul them in and have them appear in two seperate blocks you need to clone the xhld module.

check outhttp://www.aussienymeetup.net/modules/xhld0/ to see what I mean (and the main page)

I dont mind them being mixed together but if I want it to look like two seperate blocks, seperating out each source I would simply clone the module (copying it with a slightly different name each time).

Cloning module or cloning block??
I guess cloing module would do it but was wondering if this can be done by just one module.

I tried to clone the headline block but i cant. Can u please tell me step by step what exactly to do??
