Deactivated it because we could not agree on a newsfeed for the front page. But it is working well as you can see

How do you change the size of the links?

Not all of this is my code, i took a very basic "rss to your website" thingy from some tutorial and heavilie modified it...

what did I do wrong?

[rjackson]

anyone have any ideals?

[IchBin]

The code you just posted doesn't look anything like the OP code.

[rjackson]

thats the code I got from page 2 of this thread

[IchBin]

Well I just copy/pasted the code into a phpbox on my site and it worked just fine. Please remember to use code tags when posting code.

Hello
I'm using this block code in various blocks in my web.
The problem is that when it picks a rss feed that's not working (e.g. a webpage that's down) the entire site (my site) is ralentized, until the point it returns anything.

So, my question is:
Is there a way to check rss feed source before process it, to prevent this possibility? Maybe an 'echo' telling that (something like 'rss source not found')?

Thanks in advance.
