Here is a tip—directly related to this tutorial, and to many others: refrain from “jazzing-up” your tutorials. We do not need to see your striped borders, or lovely logos, etc—provide the functionality, and the guts. By requiring that 1/3 of a tutorials steps are related to some custom (and useless) design elements—it results in…

1. Longer time to complete the tutorial
2. More chance of problems
3. Loss of desire to do more

Trust me—it never adds to a tutorial, it only detracts.

For those following the instructions in the mag:

Remember to add WebDesignerRssViewer as your document class in the properties panel otherwise you’ll just get the “loader_mc” looping constantly and you’ll be oblivious as to why your content isn’t loading!

Also, the feed in the magazine is out of date.
At the time of writing this post it should be:
