customize custom rss output

Hello BoonEx community, I'm a newbie and need some help with my customRSS feed block. My site is located at http://planetswindoe.com and the URL that I'm trying to pull into my fan site is from my store http://store.swindoe.com/rss.php?action=popularproducts&type=rss

Here's the problem ::

The feed system appears to be working just fine, however the output is jumbled. I'd appreciated some help fixing this problem. I'd like everything to be left justified with a space between each feed

i would suggest seeing if the fan favorite site  you are trying to pull the RSS from has an actual xml source for the RSS to pull from. the garble is most likely due to the formatting placed from the source site?

i viewed the link you provided that was supposedly the RSS feed:

<![CDATA[PlanetSwindoe Store: Popular Products]]> http://store.swindoe.com Fri, 02 Apr 2010 19:54:53 +0000<![CDATA[SWINDOE The Album]]> http://store.swindoe.com/products/SWINDOE-The-Album.html Tue, 19 Jan 2010 12:27:59 +0000http://store.swindoe.com/products/SWINDOE-The-Album.html

this is malformed and incorrect for an RSS feed.

RSS 2.0 Proper Format for a Feed

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<rss version="2.0">
<channel>
<title>Example Channel</title>
<link>http://example.com/</link>
<description>My example channel</description>
<item>
<title>News for September the Second</title>
<link>http://example.com/2002/09/01</link>
<description>other things happened today</description>
</item>
<item>
<title>News for September the First</title>
<link>http://example.com/2002/09/02</link>
</item>
</channel>
</rss>

This is not a dolphin problem, this is a problem with where you are trying to pull the feed from.
