I am also looking to limit my RSS feeds to only 2 or 3 posts... can someone help with this? I look at the DNN creative tutorial and had trouble following it.

Thanks

G Hart,

This is perfect. Exactly what I needed. One question... how can I truncate the amount of the text is displays... can I specify a char. count? I changed it to only display 3 RSS items... now I just want o shorten them up a bit. Excellent fix! Thanks again!

You could truncate the description/text the same way the pubDate was truncated, by using the substring function.  I would not do that unless you are sure about what is in the description field.  Typically this field will contain HTML, so you cannot just truncate it because the tags will no longer make sense.  If you do, you could make the second parameter in the substring function an xml parameter like we did for limit.  This allows you to use the DNN XML module and set the parameter values in each instance.
