sorry, i hadn't really looked into it very much. yeah, that seems to be what rss is all about
i found a couple with some content here:
http://www.syndic8.com/
but i think there was a limit to the content of the description tags in earlier versions of RSS, so i bet in-depth content is rare
i'm glad i saw this thread because i had never really played around with the news feed feature of the ipod/ephpod. i've been able to load xml into mine, so i don't know what is going wrong with your setup
