Hey guy,

I'm trying to include the next 3 days weather forcast for Galway on my site. I've found this good RSS feed on the BBC site - http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/weather/feeds/rss/5day/world/4306.xml

hey,
this is really quick and cheerful!!

You just fill in the parameters it asks for (the feed you want, how many items)
and it will generate the code and style sheet for you to insert into your site

Its originally sourced from here, but the link isnt working
