Thanks man! I'm new to Drupal and this RSS tutorial video really helped. I appreciate it.
How do I show only excerpts of news from feeds and hyperlinks within the news are not being parsed. I have < a > in the html allowed list, but the links in the content are not links? Any ideas?
The built in feed aggregator is a simple one and doesn't allow too much control over the content that it pulls in. So if you want to present only excerpts I think that you might want something more advanced like the Feed API module. Feed API captures the content as nodes so you can use Views to control the display and the items will show up in search results.
I'm not sure about the link issues you're having. Perhaps a link to the place where you're testing it out would help.
I tried Feed API it is too complicated to use. I have been able to rectify the links issue. I tried Feed API but there I wasn't able to get it to show the feeds let alone excerpts of them. :P
