AboutToday provides a central place to bring daily items of interest to your forum visitors. It includes two main components:
A database system that can hold unlimited categories of "AboutToday" events. For example, you could have a history category (like a Today in History) with sub-categories for different eras in history. Or, you could have a daily joke or software tip of the day, etc.
An RSS Reader system where the admin can enter RSS feeds that will then be displayed on the page.

Подскажи в чем проблема с русским шрифтом может быть
Основная кодировка форума 1251, а RSS видны нормально только при кодироке UTF8
Подсказать не смогу, потому как и у меня точно так - основная кодировка windows-1251, но все RSS ленты видны нормально, без всяких проблем со шрифтом, кракозябр и пр. Я ничего не менял, разве установил свои Product Title и RSS Title, а так установил все точь-в-точь как описано в первом посте КотЪ.
