Hello, I am the developer of a hopefully commercial asp driven fully flash
site.  [URL].  I was looking to make my updates a little more seamless. 
To do this I was going to build a collapsible list, but as it is just for me
to use I didn't want to spend that much time trying to make it.  So I found
you on Google while looking for an easy solution.

The problem is that I don't really have an appropriate spot yet to put the
link to your site.  It wouldn't be that bad if someone else was going to use
the collapsible list, because I could put it on that page, but the page I am
using it on, I hope, does not get seen by anyone but myself.  When I use
tools that others have created I do want to give credit but at the same time
I don't want to confuse my users.

The question is, do you have a problem with my using it for my own data
entry without linking it until I have an appropriate place to put the link.

I would also like to say that your site seems like an incredible resource. 
How do you make a living?  You have no advertising that I noticed and it
doesn't seem like you charge for your stuff, nor have I seen a donations
link.

Thanks for your time,
Wayne Bairstow

Google just seems to like the way I write. I do not attempt to do any search
engine optimisations (except some garbage on the front page that Google does
not use anyway, and I am about to remove). The pages all link to each other
nicely, which does help, and I get quite a lot of links from other sites,
but mainly it is the writing style. Google seems to like a page that
discusses a given topic in detail.

Wayne,

Not possible with that scroller script.

remove the form and call this manually:
importXML('rssLocal.php?feedURL='+escape(URL),'parseRSS',false,5000)
(where URL is the URL of your feed)

> Do you know of any horizontal scrolling rss feeds

nope, sorry.
