I'm reading a guide on how to direct google alerts to a feed and the guide says if i click on an orange thing at a certain place i'll get a page of google's XML. But when i click i just get the feed and when i right click all i get is this:

<html ><head><meta content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" http-equiv="content-type"><script>(function(){function a(d){this.t={};this.tick=function(e,f,b){b=b?b:(new Date).getTime();this.t[e]=[b,f]};this.tick("start",null,d)}var c=new a;window.jstiming={Timer:a,load:c};try{var g=null;if(window.chrome&&window.chrome.csi)g=Math.floor(window.chrome.csi().pageT);if(g==null)if(window.gtbExternal)g=window.gtbExternal.pageT();if(g==null)if(window.external)g=window.external.pageT;if(g)window.jstiming.pt=g}catch(h){};})();</script>

You listed an HTML file in you post, not the XML file the guide tells you to look at.

If a suggested code/method fails, informing us is less important than telling us why or what errors occurred.

RSS uses XML, so are you trying to find the RSS file of the site, you mean? I looked deeper in the source code, it has this RSS address:
http://www.google.co...711203222490122

To submit that RSS feed to Google Reader (an RSS aggregator), you can append it to the url (after /feed/), such as:
http://www.google.co...711203222490122

And you will notice it will be loaded into Google Reader, is that what you mean?

yes, i think so, pretty confused yesterday, but i think i meant the other way round, im trying to import other feeds into my feed, which i dunno how to do right now, i know how to import my feed into google but not the other way around...
i think yesterday i was confused at how incomprehensibly twitterfeed isnt doing the job for me, when in the manual it looks so easy... ill give it time, besides there are so many step by step guides out there on this ill get it eventually

but while we're here, nullworm, do u kno how to export the reader feed into my feed? thanks:-)

Oh, there is a guide here for that: How to Import RSS to Twitter | eHow.com

In your twitterfeed account, you would enter this feed to be imported:
http://www.google.co...711203222490122

It doesn't end in .rss , but it's still a feed generated from Google Reader.
