Help with the Pausing RSS Scroller

[leematthews]

If anyone doesn't know what I'm talking about, refer here:
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...pausescroller/

Anyway...the RSS feed page that I am trying to get to work is hosted by myself but "powered" by blogger.com. Here is the site:
http://www.matthewdlee.com/blog/atom.xml
(Note: I added a whole bunch of tests posts not to be taken seriously)

In the demo.htm I have this in the BODY:

<script type="text/javascript">

//new rsspausescroller(RSS_id, divId, divClass, delay, linktarget, optionalswitch)
//1) RSS_id: "Array key of RSS feed in scrollerbridge.php script"
//2) divId: "ID of DIV to display ticker in. DIV is dynamically created"
//3) divClass: "Class name of this ticker, for styling purposes"
//4) delay: delay between message change, in milliseconds
//5) linktarget: Target of links inside RSS feed. Set to "" for current page.
//6) optionalswitch: "optional arbitrary" string to create additional logic for formatrssmessage() to use.
// By default, optionalswitch supports "date", or "date+description" to also show these parts of a RSS feed.


new rsspausescroller("blog", "pscroller2", "rssclass", 3000, "", "date+description")

</script>

The rsspausescroller.js is set up properly (I think). I didn't change its location when I downloaded and uploaded it.

For the scrollerbridge.php:

<?php

/*

// include lastRSS
include "lastRSS.php"; //path to lastRSS.php on your server relative to scrollerbridge.php

// Create lastRSS object
$rss = new lastRSS;
$rss->cache_dir = 'cache'; //path to cache directory on your server relative to scrollerbridge.php. Chmod 777!
$rss->date_format = 'M d, Y g:i:s A'; //date format of RSS item. See PHP date() function for possible input.
$rss->cache_time = 1800; //Global cache time before fetching RSS feed again, in seconds.

// Define your list of RSS URLs- "RSS_id"=> "URL to RSS feed"
$rsslist=array(
"cnn" => "http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss",

//Domains that are authorized to display scroller:

$rssid=$_GET['id'];

$i++;
}
if ($rs['items_count'] <= 0) { echo "rsscontentdata=\"Sorry, no items found in the RSS file\""; }
}
else {
echo "rsscontentdata=\"Sorry: It's not possible to reach RSS file $url\"";
// All else fails
}
}

function slashit($what){ //Encode text for storing in JavaScript array
$newstring=str_replace('&apos;', '\'', $what); //replace those half valid apostrophe entities with actual apostrophes
return rawurlencode($newstring);
}

// ===============================================================================

outputRSS_JS($rssurl, $divid);

?>

Basically I just added "blog"

I am not sure why its not working and whether its a problem I have with blogger.com's feed file (whenever I make a post I have to go to Blogger.com and it uploads via ftp).

If anyone can help, please do so!
