Btw to make sure BBC don't mislead you, you can just wave your mouse on the headline and it shows the OP, easy

Any RSS feed can be used. So if you have any RSS feeds that you think might be worth putting on just post them in this thread and we will take a look.

Sorry for sounding stupid but what is an RSS Feed?

 

[Luke]

Maybe a suggestion could be a Sky Sports one - http://www.skysports.com/rss/0,20514,11095,00.xml

They tend to cover more topics than the BBC and could be interesting to see

Seriously? Shame on us for using their RSS feeds to display their articles in the way all RSS readers do.

I think it's pretty disgusting that they want money for us to use an RSS feed considering it's a free to use website & it's attracting more readers oO)

ESPN would be cool - http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/news/story?page=rssinfo

If that's the right thing

*Admin Edit* - Nop, but this is - http://www.espn.co.uk/rss/sport/story/feeds/0.xml?type=2
