Description
Importing news from other sites is really easy and you can also customize how the importer news feed will look like.
Let us say you want to import some news from CNN. First you have to locate the URL address of the feed(s) you want to import. On the http://www.cnn.com there is a link "Services » RSS" at the bottom. When you click this, a page which lists different RSS channels will appear.
Suppose you want to import "Technology" and "Science & Space". Locate URL addresses for these channels. When you have it — simply use the Feed module.
Code
[[module Feed src="http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_tech.rss,http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_space.rss" limit="10"]]

Hi, I want to do this but when I go to my forum (where I want my rss feed to come from) and lcik the [RSS] button I get this code to use:
… but it looks like it needs to be .rss
???
I found this code:
… but it does not display the content of the posts (which I DO want!!)
Help?
Ok, worked out that I was missing a 'talking marks' in my code. Doh!
But now it is showing the feed from oldest to newest, not newest to oldest. I want it to show the most recent ontop.
