Okay so I want to create a RSS feed with these two links:

http://www.networkcomputing.com/rss.php

and

http://www.voip-news.com/rss/vnar.xml

I have checked out different widgets and what not but I want to create this from scratch.

I started this xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<rss  version="2.0">

<channel>

<title>Network Computing</title>

<description>Virtualization security companies Hytrust and Catbird will offer integrated compliance reporting that encompasses the hypervisor-host and network environment down through the virtual machine level. Catbird vSecurity, delivered either as a hosted service or virtual appliance, ensures correct hypervisor configuration and deploys network access control (NAC) against unauthorized access and protection against attack via IDS/IPS. Its VMShield component protects client VMs, tracks them as they move and enforces policy.</description>

So I created a button on my home page, and it is linked to this XML file. Everything works great except it only shows the item that I plugged in...I want it to show ALL items. Can I do this without having to input each item individually? Is this how I should do it anyways with a button linking to this xml file? I really want to have like 3-5 of the post auto update on my home page but I dont know how to embed the RSS into my HTML home page file.
Also, the way I have it coded, will it automatically update the new posts? or do I have to wait for the new post and input the item into the xml file?
I am very new to the RSS feed so please help.
Thanks,
cp

Please do not post the same question in more than one forum. I'm locking this thread, because you have already received a reply in the Dreamweaver General Discussion forum.
