I've been looking for something like this for a while.

(Oh, and you do know the comments box obscures the blog text in FireFox?)

I don't see the listing in the new page.
The listing is in the web.config and i've done an IIS reset.
The DLL is in the correct bin directory.

What else could I be missing?
Thanks
Ron

I can add it to the page and set the parameters, but when I end editing of the page, it throws an error and I have to use webpart maintenance to delete it. Has anyone else seen this happen or have any ideas about the cause?

I notice that you're doing all the formatting in the code. I wonder if you might provide an update that allows you to modify the XSL that is used to present the feed.

(BTW the error mentioned in my previous post corrected itself on its own.)

I'm not much of an XSL person and I was in a hurry so I did it old school.  If anyone has XSL to format the RSS XML I'd be happy to include that code in the output and add an XSL parameter to the web part settings.   Anyone???

Siegfried Weber wrote some XSLT for the XML web part in 2004 that works pretty well. His site seems to have disappeared off the web.

I don't know what I can fit in this comment box, but here is one of them:

I've tried to implement this XSL directly into the 'Alternate Stylesheet' field in the properties of the Feedlistings web part. I've also tried to separate the feeds by enter a multiple headers into the Feed Headers property. No luck.

Do you expect to work on the Feedlistings web part any more to add some additional ability to control the appearance of the feeds? It would be very helpful.

Thanks!

I have a requirement to authenticate RSS feeds. Does BinaryWave have this capability?

Is there a way to display a portion of the text of the feed? Also, and this is the most important, is there a way to make all the links open in a new window? I hate having people leave my site just to view a piece of news.
