code help with rss box and bts


Guest

Recommended Posts

Can someone help I am trying to add RSS to my web site. I am running BTS I have the RSS contribution installed but I am having a problem coding the Box.

If you look at my site at http://www.estore4you.com you will see in the left colum the news box and below it the actual box which I want the information inside.

 

I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong to get the news inside the actual box.

 

Any ideas this is the code for the rssnews.php box
