News (RSS) feed block to Moodle

These instructions show you how to add a block that shows RSS feeds to Moodle:

My video and printable PDF "how to" guides.

You can also add an RSS feed to a twitter account too.  To do this, I referred to a separate blog which works. (Today) :)  Here is the solution:

For an account called xxxxx you can use the feed link:

http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name=xxxxx

Put the name instead of the xxxxx

For example, for the user found at http://twitter.com/covcampus
I found that the following feed worked:

http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name=covcampus

Not any more! See the separate blog plus update.
