Hi Larry. I’m glad that you found the tutorial useful. Maybe by now you have already seen your updated post in the page containing CGFeedread.
This script caches the feed details on the server. This is so that the original blog is not suffering from unnecessary hits and expensive bandwidth. (Or worse, the owner of the blog may block you because you are hogging the pipe). I can’t remember the original cache period (I think it is one hour) but you can change this setting in the script, near the top.
When testing, I will drop this setting down to maybe 2 minutes, publish a new post in the blog, wait a few minutes, refresh the page where the feeds are displaying and if I see the details of the new post, I know all is working well. Then I set it back to 1 hour.
