Apparently you cannot specify a feed URL directly – there’s no option to do that. If you’ve got a blog, just type in its name and the Google AJAX Feed API will automatically discover the feed of that blog. If auto-discovery fails, you can manually edit the feed URL in the code.a

The Dynamic Feed Control is a simple to use application of the Google AJAX Feed API that is designed to let you add feeds to your pages, sites, and blogs. The Dynamic Feed Control takes either a single feed url, an array of feed urls, or a more structured array of feed description objects, a container, and optional options. It's that easy.

The Dynamic Feed Control is highly customizable, allowing you to specify options such as the number of results to display, display and transition time between entries, how the entries link back to their source, etc. There are vertical, stacked vertical, and horizontal display modes as the samples show. In addition to the various options, all the HTML elements created are styled and have CSS classes, allowing endless styling options for embedding in your own site. You can see some of what is possible on our Styled sample.
