Thanks for this Acorn, and apologies for taking ages to get back to you: I got distracted by other work commitments, and so have only just had time to pick this up again.



I'm not sure where to...

Thanks, Acorn.



No, it doesn't seem to be working at all. I copied the code you sent and inserted it into the Head of the news page. I removed the forward slashes before the alert, and...

Thanks, Acorn. Still no luck, I'm afraid: I don't see the alerts or the refreshing. However, looking back through the thread, I noted this assumption, and wonder if it's the problem:



I haven't...

Thanks, Acorn. I've added the code to the page head for the News page, where the RSS feed is, but it's still not working. Do I need to add anything else?

Thank you, Acorn.



Not sure I understand this. There are three variants: 960px, 700px, and 400px. Whenever one of those breakpoints is hit, the iframe contents disappear until they page is...

One final snag, @Acorn (I'm sure this will be the last...!)...

When I resize the browser window and hit one of my variants' breakpoints, the RSS feed disappears and I have to refresh to make it...

I've fixed it! :D

In case it's useful to anyone else, the answer is here: https://davidwalsh.name/cdn-fonts

Thanks, Acorn. I've figured out what the problem is, but not got a solution yet. When I look at the site with Developer Tools in Google Chrome, I see an error that says:



I don't suppose you've...

@Acorn,

I've hit a bit of a snag with this. As mentioned in an earlier post in this thread, I need the RSS Feed to display in a particular font. I'd specified that font in the Surfing Waves RSS...

Thanks, Acorn! All working now. Just finalising other bits of the site and then I'll be ready to launch!

Really appreciate all your help with this.

@Acorn - just wondering if you have any ideas on this. I'm hoping to get my website finalise this weekend and would really appreciate any guidance you can offer on teh final issues in my last post...

Thanks again for this, Acorn. I tried uploading the css file directly to my FTP server and then giving Surfing Waves a fully qualified URL from there. It seems to work fine. I've edited the CSS some...

Thanks for this, Acorn. Going to have a play with it this weekend. Just wondering, though, unless I've misunderstood something: can't I just upload the CSS file to my webspace manually, using an FTP...

Thanks for this, Acorn. I've done some more experimenting with Surfing Waves, and I think I can live with the "X time ago" instead of the date. So, now my challenge is to create a custom style sheet...

Thanks Acorn. This works with the images now, but it still doesn't show the article dates. Is there anything we can do about that?

Hmm... that's a shame. It means this isn't a workable option. And there's definitely now way we can get the Surfing Waves feed you found to include images?

Thanks for this, Acorn. It turns out that XWD already does everything necessary to make the fonts available, since I'm using them on other pages of the site, so it exports them as webfonts. So all I...

Awesome! Thank you so much, Acorn! :D

The final thing I need to do is change the font. The one I'm using is non-standard, so it gets output as a webfont. How can I make the text here work in that...

Thanks, Acorn. The https://rss.bloople.net tool that we were using at the start of this thread does pull in the images: see this example 121782

The problem with this is styling it: I need to...

Hi Acorn,

Thanks very much for all your work on this, and apologies for the delay in my reply -- I started a new day job on Wednesday, so have been pretty busy for the last couple of days with...

Thanks, Acorn. That makes sense. I'm coming at this from Adobe Muse, which dynamically changed the page length, as content grows, but you're right, of course, that it won't work that way in Xara WD....

Thanks, Acorn - really appreciate your help. I think I've recreated what you describe, so happy to continue.

Key things I need to change:

the font and size of the headlines for each post
the...

Thanks, @Acorn.

I've been experimenting with https://rss.bloople.net/, which seems to do what I need. I'm just creating a box on my site and setting it as a placeholder for the code that that tool...

I want to insert an RSS feed of a Google Blogger blog into my Xara website. I've tried the RSS Widget in the Content Catalogue, but when I select it, I see a "Bad Gateway" error, so cannot configure...
