Making A Module For Personalized Google

I'm trying to do some basic stuff with RSS and XML, partially to make modules for personalized Google, but mostly to get experience with XML. I tried making one that would use the bash.org RSS feed (http://www.bash.org/xml/about.html) to get the last 3 quotes added, but I kind of just made something up and it didn't work:

CODE

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<Module>
<ModulePrefs title="Bash: Lastest Quotes" height="100" />
<Content type="url" href="http://www.bash.org/xml/?latest&num=3" />
</Module>

The module shows up, but it's blank. How can I make this work?

Also, somewhat unrelated, but how can I get the contents of a page for parsing?

by the looks of it, bash has some problems with their feed. you may have to wait until they resolve that on their side. were you able to contact them? i suggest you do, if only to advise them their feed is not working at the moment.

with your personalized google, it's as easy as adding the feed link via the "Create a Section" form. try this (my blog feed, for testing purposes

):
http://main.polybuzz.info/feed/

after adding that, it will show up automatically, and you can simply move it around where you want it positioned.

here's a screenshot:

I tried that- it works, but it's like "[link]Quote ######," not the quote itself.
