New Rss Feed Function

I have a question for all you computer savy people concerning RSS feeds. I'm attemping to use the new RSS feed function in ARC. I am using Windows7 and have downloaded Google reader. I have saved the EZ-Robot RSS and it is in my saved RSS feeds list.I wrote a script called; EZ-Robot update and saved it. When I click on "Start" it says: "Here is the lastest EZ-Robot forum update" It then reads the latest update. Works just fine. I then saved an RSS National Weather Service ,local weather report. It shows up in my saved "Feeds". Clicking on it brings the correct page up. The URL for that page reads: http://alerts.weather.gov/cap/wwaatmget.php?x=FLC083

In the script I wrote; speakRSS(http://alerts.gov/cap/wwaatmget.php?x=FLC083)

It does say; "here is the most recent weather update" Then it fails to read the feed. Am I doing something wrong? I selected the feed for , Florida, Marion County. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

@ Mel : How about you share your weather and news URL's with me so I can maybe get it working too. I finally got my new motor drivers today. Put the new one in and works great! Here it was a bad board all along! All that frustration and it wasn't me doing anything wrong! Damn!!!! Now, on to the next problem. Camera. I'm wondering if I have a bad camera too? I'll order another one and try it again. I'm thinking RSS feeds aren't standardized and will have to try different ones until I find one that works. Now it will be another 2 to 3 weeks waiting on a new camera.

Get the latest ARC and look in the File->Examples menu for an RSS project. It will demonstrate how to use the RSS for weather assigned to speech functions.

It is currently set for Marion Florida for Lloyd
