Hi Cori, Have you made any progress with this? Yes, my RSS import/export article is fairly detailed. My aim was to help readers have a broad understanding of RSS (value, implications, etc) as well as a thorough explanation of how to use Exponential's RSS capabilities. On cronjobs, yes, it takes some getting used to, though I’ve just had a quick look at other CMS (Joomla and Drupal) and they need cronjobs configured too. Actually, though I reserve the right to be wrong, I can’t see a way to do organise any RSS effectively without cronjobs. In any case, the advantage of configuring cronjobs is that you also enable some of Exponential’s particularly useful and powerful features – notifications, workflow, etc. For me, the key thing that comes out of your comments is the value of creating an example class for RSS imports (I’ll post this to issues.ez.no shortly). I expect this would help get RSS import going faster, especially for new users. In the meantime, if you have a specific area where you are stuck, let me know and I can try to help you along. Regards - Paul
