Hi Brad,

I'm afraid none of the links on this post seem to work! They all seem to be linked to just "http:///" ??

Oops. A late night update to Textile will do that. All better now.

So far every blog I listed in the �include_blogs� attribute of the tags, I should create a new index template as above. Correct? Or can I just create the template in one blog (out of seven) and go that way.

I created it in one and it seems to be pulling in all of them. I am not sure how frequently it will rebuild, though. Is that why each blog gets a copy?

If I do end up with seven copies of this template, which one should I direct people to?

Kevin -- Yes, you would have a copy of that index template for each blog you're including. You should link the template to a file so that you can keep them all in sync a little easier. As for which to direct people to-- each index template should be writing to the same physical RSS file. So you would only have one file to direct people to. By adding an index template to each blog you're including, it insures that the RSS file is updated upon adding/editing any entry for any of those blogs.

Brad - I've got all the templates going. They are all linked to a single file called "sitewide.tmpl". It is being updated on every post from every blog. Perfect.

How do I link the RSS to that template file?

On a similar theme - is it possible to offer rss feeds for a single category only? And offer a selection of feeds covering individual categories as well as an all encompassing one.

First, you -sir- are a bad mamma jamma. But you already knew that.

Second, sitewide comments feed?

Be my guest to change the templates however you see fit.

I have installed the sitewide rss template and all I get is a blank page and this message when I rebuild the page:

MT::App::CMS=HASH(0x8326f20) Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) at lib/MT/Builder.pm line 121.

Please assist.
thanks
