[…] eresting little RSS web part that allows you to present RSS headers inside of a SPS list.

I’ve needed this for ages. Excellent work! Thanks.
This is by far the most useful RSS tool I have seen to date. Any way it can be packaged up so that rss dwp creation can happen natively on a wss site? Even if not this is awesome! Thanks!!!!
George, your webpart generator seems to be great!, but I get an error in my portal. It shows me the title and link but not the items. The error says “Error al procesar los datos de esta solicitud.” (In english:error procesing data query) I think it may be the language (spanish) or the proxy server, that require authentification. Can you tell me anything about?
A lot of thanks
This seems to be a common problem. You can configure proxy servers in .NET 1.1 in web.config and machine.config, but not with authentication. Click here for a workaround.
How does this work with proxy servers? For example, I need to use http://autoproxy:9090 to access sites outside of our firewall.
Microsoft’s proxy configuration instructions under “Allowing Access to the Online Web Part Gallery from Behind a Proxy Server or Firewall” apply to WSS-RSS as well.
Very cool indeed. I have a WSS beta running (at work) and just added Yahoo’s top stories with a few mouse clicks.
I love this tool! Would you mind adding a bullet option to launch in a new window? This could either appear within the web part modification area (ideal), or on this site when the dwp is created; or both! Many thanks in advance.
Hi again…any chance the new window enhancement will be implemented? It’s a fantastic tool otherwise.
The best way for send many rss information to SPS - po prostu niesamowity ;)
Thanks for the RSS WebPart. I would really like to see the date the item was added to the RSS feed. That must be there somewhere because other RSS clients display it.
I suspect that if I realy knew something about XLST, I could add it, but I don’t.
Thanks
Great Web part. Noticed that when I open a page that contains RSS feeds generated with your web part in MS FrontPage 2003 for some advanced editing, the bullet image that precedes the RSS link is then broken. Do you have any work arounds?
Thanks for your email reply, George. Having these articles open up in a new window would be ideal. This one is even better than the SmilingGoat reader because it doesn’t force you to display the source heading link. As soon as you get a chance to implement this tiny enhancement, I’ll have the perfect wss rss reader! Thanks again in advance.
Very nice tool, great job.
Thats absolutely fantastic!!!!!!! Now my Sharepoint home page looks like I want it to.
Enough Respect!
Man, you ROCK. That is such a cool thing. I’ve got SharePoint running to administer a development effort, and having an RSS feed of “cases closed in the last 7 days” coming from our bug tracker appearing on the SharePoint front page is EXCELLENT. Thank you!
Awesome!!! I really love this kind of simplicity (at least for the users..!) :-)

Brilliant - now the office think I’m great!
Many thanks

Sharepoint RSS webpart with no installation
I found this post today. Absolutely cool! A webpart that can load and display RSS feeds without requireing any server-side components. Just upload the webpart and add ot a page. Awesome!
Thank you!
I’m having problems with a feed though, and I don’t know if it’s the feed itself, or something in your application. The RSS URL: http://www.tullverket.se/tullverket/rss/foretag.aspx
The feed must be valid for it to display correctly. You can verify the feed is valid here:
