RSS Feeds

Having some problems with adding on-line RSS feeds, while I can download cached versions of the XML of both BlogLoc and Twitter, they are not dynamic files therefore need to be downloaded to get the latest version - and while I can locate an RSS feed for Twitter online it is a .rss file, and the PHP RSS reader I am using seems to require the file extension to be .XML

Although I have been able to parse an RSS feed of my Twitter through the PHP Reader, which is a step in the right direction:


This has got around the problem of the Javascript RSS reader, as the PHP function does all the work on the server-side, rather than in the browser, which means the RSS reader will work in all browsers

Also I still need to find another service for Flickr Still, and need to find a way to link to dynamic XML files online for Twitter and BlogLoc.
