Re: 2 feeds together?
I am not sure how to explain this as I am not a coder, but could the
answer be to run a program that ran every thirty minutes or so to
read the seperate feeds and write them to a new seperate .xml feed
file? It may not be possible, but it seems like it should be
somehow. I have a program that will do it and write it to a php
file, but that doesnt work for syndicating the feed to other sites,
only to my own.
