    Hi folks:

    Complete newbie here.

    I am really weak on coding, but the other day I did manage to add a second feed on my bottom bar. It was nice, because they alternated every few seconds.

    { and }.

    I’ve used npm run config:check but am getting nowhere. I am currently running OK with the single news feed.
    Thanks in advance.

    Chris

      {
      	disabled: false,
      		module: "newsfeed",
      		position: "bottom_bar",
      		config: {
      			updateInterval: 28 * 1000,
      			feeds: [
      				{
      					title: "New York Times",
      					url: "http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml"
      				},
      				{
      					title: "ANOTHER NEWSFEED HERE - CHANGE THE URL BELOW",
      					url: "http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml"
      				},
      				{
      					title: "ANOTHER NEWSFEED HERE - and so on and so forth",
      					url: "http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml"

                      @rijosroberto might be an error…

                      alt-spacebar, n to minimize the mirror screen and see the console log in the terminal window where u did npm start (this will show the debug/errors from the node_helpers)…

                      and/or ctrl-shift-i (letter i) to open the debug console, select the console tab
                      (this will show the debug from the modules)
