Ryan, If you're just consuming the RSS feeds, you might want to try this UDF: http://www.cflib.org/udf.cfm?ID=813 TranslateRSSItems(rssDoc) Description Takes a RSS feed from Blogger, Slashdot, ZDNet, etc and translates into a CF query. Based on the function TranslateMacromediaResourceFeed by Jeffry Houser ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Returns a query. Example <cfhttp url="http://pro.blogger.com/docs/example_rss.xml"; method="GET" resolveurl="true" timeout="6000"> <cfif cfhttp.fileContent is not "Connection Failure"> <cfset rssFeed = TranslateRSSItems(cfhttp.FileContent)> <cfloop query="rssFeed"> <!-- only output at most 5 rows ---> <cfif currentRow lte 5> <cfoutput> <p><a href="#link#">#title#</a><br>#description#</p> </cfoutput> <cfelse> <cfbreak> </cfif> </cfloop> </cfif> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
