Brilliant! Worked like a charm. Thank you so much, Peter. Now I can start moving feeds to Magnolia.

I see "Tags: tester" at the end of every item.

If that's what you want to remove, putting this around your %DESCRIPTIONPLAIN% should fix it:

<gsub from="Tags: tester" to="">%DESCRIPTIONPLAIN%</gsub>

like so..

Hi, I'm changing from Blinklist to the more robust Magnolia bookmarking site. The RSS feeds from Magnolia render the same as the old ones except for one thing. They add some text (it should be a link but doesn't show up as one) between the end of the description and my 'read more' link. You can see what I mean here: http://app.feeddigest.com/digest3/DBKXWL3VSM.html

Is there any way I can edit this out in the template? I use an RSS button to link back to the tag page anyway and this doesn't work as a link so it's just a unwanted bit of text. I don't think I can do anything at the Magnolia end except to use their JS feed which, ironically, doesn't show the link/text !!

Thanks
