I know RSS feeds are not as popular these days but if anyone knows about them I was wondering if you could help.
I have a device that displays RSS feeds.
But it only displays the title of each news item.
I want it to display the description instead.
Basically, how I can take an existing feed and swap the description & title and republish this as an .xml?
For example, a segment from the BBC News RSS...
I want it to be like this...
After searching on the net it seems Yahoo Pipes was the way to go, unfortunately Yahoo Pipes shut down. Is there another way to "mangle" an RSS?
Thanks
