This would be great, for a little widget.
I can’t wait!
good working thanks
Great information, though I must admit I’m a pretty bare-bones kind of guy.
This works fine for me for now.

This is a great script, and does a lot to explain how to work with jgfeed. Although i am running into an issue with the ajax-feed-readmore function working in IE7. I have even tried using toggle() instead of swapping content between divs and it still fails. I was hoping someone had and idea on why this is failing.
Great script, just a pity that the read more button doesn’t work in IE7.
I’m having difficulty linking to my Yahoo Pipes RSS feeds. Would anyone happen to know why there would be a problem using an RSS feed aggregation/mashup service with this tut? Thanks!
Just got into Joomla component coding and was able to turn this into a Joomla component with a back end to add more urls.
Here’s a link to what I did:

I’ll probably never release this, but it was a fun way to get started!
Thanks for posting this!
