I am trying to install a rss reader on my website. I got a great reader program, but i cant get it to work on an html page ( even with their instructions) the feed displays wonderfully as a php file. but that is all it is, the feed on the left side of a white page. is there a way i can center the feed, and make a return link to the main site? such as: Click Here To Return The Spores And More! Homepage ( the url is http://www.sporesandmore.com ) here is the code [code]<?php $olderror_reporting =error_reporting(0); include ("http://www.rssfeedreader.com/rss3/rss.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnews.google.com%2Fnwshp%3Fhl%3Den%26tab%3Dwn%26q%3D%26output%3Drss&newpage=1&chead=&atl=&desc=1&owncss=&eleminate=1&auth=1&dts=1&width=800&max=5&tlen=0&rnd=1&bt=3&bs=Double&nmb=&ntb=&naf=1&nst=&nwd=800&nht=1000&dlen=0&lstyle=-1&lc=Blue&bg=White&bc=Gray&spc=&ims=&tc=&ts=11&tfont=Verdana,+Arial,+Sans-serif&rf=".$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['SERVER_NAME'].$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF']."&phpout=1"); error_reporting($olderror_reporting); ?> [/code] as i cant get more then 1 feed to display on the page ( there is around 15 i want to show) i am putting each of them on a seperate php page, so if you could highlight what to add, i will put it on each page.

Thanks DylanBlitz , that was it. i knew it had to be something simple. i need to find a "dummies guide to php" lol

ok,i am manually editing in information to a php script.
