Progress on blogger feed snippets

I have been working on the snippet project to get a small portion of these posts included on my website. This really is for another client of mine who has a blog and a website and would like to combine the two without leaving one for the other. Within the blog you need to create an rss feed that broadcasts to the site that will display the snippet. Flash will take the xml code that is posted by blogger and parse it into the page. Using the Namespace class and connecting to the Atom directory within Blogger to link the blog to the flash page.

// myNamespace:Namespace = new Namespace("http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom");

Now connect to the feed using the feeds/feedburner.com link generated by the rss to populate text fields in the website. You can restrict the number of characters and the number of text fields (snippets) that are displayed on the site. Send me a note for more detailed information.
