I'm using JAlbum to create my webalbum and since version 8.1 JAlbum supports RSS feeds of the albums. However the RSS feeds generated by JAlbum do not work for albums containing a hierarchy of folders. What they try to do in the RSS feeds is to include the RSS feeds of the subfolders by including a element (see example below). This does not work in NetNewsWire and GoogleReader and feedvalidator.org also reports warnings on this. It is possible to change the RSS template used by JAlbum to generate the RSS feed. I'm trying to fix this (and other) problems, but really doubt if it is possible at all to refer from one RSS feed to another and have the entries of the sub feed be included in the main feed.
Is it possible to included RSS feeds in another feed? How? (Could not find examples and did not get responses on the JAlbum forum yet.)
If it's not possible I'll take another approach, but it feel quite nice if it would be possible to create a feed per folder and have the parent folder include the feeds of the subfolders by simply referring to it.

You can probably achieve what you are looking for using Yahoo Pipes. It has facilities for manipulating and combining feeds. With a bit of trial and error you can do some pretty sophisticated things with it.

I wanted to import this as an RSS feed on my website http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/yoga/ but it is not an RSS feed.
Huffington post does have RSS feeds but they are so broad. I want one just about yoga. I see there are sites that do it but you have to pay for it.
I just want to get the title, small description, and link back url like most rss feeds.
As of 2021 rss.app seems to be quite comperensive service for transforming websites to rss feeds: https://rss.app/
Deprecated information:
I tried a few services and the best results (=ease of use and good
looking rss feed) I got with Kimono. They
support JSON, CSV and
RSS results or you can
embed the feed
on your site and they even have a Wordpress
plugin. Here is the API
feed I created if you want to try (requires login):
https://www.kimonolabs.com/apis/3qhk4fyq
Other services that I quickly tried are Feed43
and Page2rss. Those seem usable, but also a
bit difficult to use or limited in features.
Superfeedr also allows
subscribing to
html elements, but requires more skill to get something working out of
it.
All of those services are free or offer free plans with limited features.
Is it possible to remove the markup wiki language from the RSS feed and only show the article content?
Because I am using different template like info-boxes etc. and when people click the RSS link it show all the template markup and all the unnecessary coding that people don't really care. I been trying to find a good tutorial or help where I can accomplish this.

As Dereckson says, no, it's not possible. Feeds are just an alternate way to consume recent changes.
The ability to consume recent changes in parsed format essentially equates the feature request for visual diffs (HTML diffs). Will be possible at some point with Parsoid.
I have a requirement to show an RSS feed from a third party site. I don't want to do this through the browser's RSS mechanism. Instead I want to embed the feed (with styling) into a particular page.
My question is, can this be done just using the CMS admin? Is there a particular content type/part I can use? Or would this have to be done programatically?
I realise there are modules that I could download, but I see no support for RSS feeds for Orchard 1.6, which I'm using. The ones I've tried are for later versions.
Thanks!
UPDATE
These may be useful if anyone else encounters problems:
http://orchard.codeplex.com/discussions/401201
http://vandelay.codeplex.com/workitem/23
For the second one, I simply removed the offending class file as I didn't need this.
The Vandelay.Industries module has an external rss feature. Be sure to get the source code from vandelay.codeplex.com
I'm trying to incorporate a google news feed in my website (Using the built-in SimplePie functionality of WordPress).
However, the default feed gets rendered in a strange table structure. Sure enough, when I inspect the feed XML, I see that Google News has a whole bunch of table html as its 'description' element, complete with embedded styles, etc (See this example)- essentially dictating how the feed must be displayed, and not allowing for any effective css based customization.
This seems really dumb- can anyone help explain what is going on, or at least agree with me that this is just a terrible feed architecture?
Feeds often include html tags, as many (most?) readers will handle and use them, and that way the RSS provider can have some nice looking output in the reader, as you've guessed. (I prefer flagging it as CDATA unless it's proper xhtml, as it's not valid xml/rss otherwise). It's not in the original spirit of RSS perhapts, but the Google feed is just an extreme example of common practice. As per your problem, does strip_htmltags help (simplepie.org/wiki/reference/simplepie/strip_htmltags)?
I need to import Twitter posts (single account) into a Drupal site to display in a sidebar. Obviously I can use the pluggable JS script, but I don't want the page to hang waiting for a response from Twitter.
I installed the new Feeds module, but I am a little confused. I want to create a content type. This content is created from the RSS feed of tweets. However, it would seem that Feeds does not allow me to create multiple feed sources to create different types of content with? Is that true? Does it merge all imported RSS into a single content type?
The reason I ask is because I don't want everything merged into Feed Items, I'd like imported content to be mapped to different content types for Views displays.
I think I figured this out, if I add a New Importer, I can do what I was looking for. Kind of sucks to have to create so many content types though.
You may also want to take a look at the activitystream module, I think it does more or less what you want.
I use it on my personal site and it works ok, trying to get patches in is not paticularly easy mind you.
