1. I installed geeklog and love it but where is my forum??
2. How do I access admin on my site?
3. Is there a way to have RSS feed located not in a block left or right but as a center block or article?

1. The forum is a plugin. Download it at PortalParts.
2. http://yoursite/admin/
Make sure you login as an admisitrator. Alternatively, there should be an admin functions block when you log in. You should be able to get to all the admin functions from there.

Thanks for the info.
Anyone know about center blocks or topics?
What I want is to add several RSS feeds but I don't want the layout to be extremely long left and right blocks with noting in the middle. I want to be able to display some of the feeds in the middle of the page also.

There is no way to add an XML file to a static page that I can see. If I put the feed link in I just show the link
example:
http://rss.topix.net/rss/news/matt-drudge.xml
example:
http://rss.topix.net/rss/news/matt-drudge.xml

You would need a rss parser script to actually show the feeds. I used RSSFeedMagic an put it on static pages. (Example)

Your site with the news feeds looks GREAT and that's what I would like to do but am not that knowledgeable to be able to do that.
If I download and install RSSFeedMagic then how do I integrate that with geeklog and what do you put in the static pages to display this?

It's quite easy. Just download the script and place the file somewhere at your server (memorize the path (not the URL!))
Create a static page and fill in what is explained at the feedmagic page.
Simple usage
<?php
require_once("RSSFeedMagic/RSSFeedMagic.php");
$RSSFeedMagic = &new RSSFeedMagic();
// We want to retrieve the last 5 news from php.net
$RSSFeedMagic->fetch("http://www.php.net", 5);
?>
You need to enable php for the static page

when I enable php I have to name it something right? Does it matter what it's named and is there somewhere else this has to be put?

RSSFeedMagic install instructions and documentation is very little. You say memorize the path and not the URL (for what?)
Here are my install instructions:
- Edit the config file to match your settings
Match my settings??
This is config.php:
define("_RSSFM_ABSOLUTE_URI_", "http://dev.izibox.isa-geek.org/RSSFeedMagic/RSSFeedMagic");
define("_DEFAULT_CACHE_ENABLED_", true); // 3 minutes
define("_DEFAULT_CACHE_EXPIRE_", 320); // 3 minutes
define("_DEFAULT_CSS_", "default.css");
define("_DEFAULT_CACHE_DIR_", '/tmp');
how do I know MY settings.

Sorry, I was a bit in a hurry and a bit unprecise
here we go
You can add html code to your static page too, but that is a different story.
geKow
here we go
- create a directory for rss feed magic (in your public_html folder) and extract everything into it
- I didn't change any of these settings. You can do that to have different defaults, but you don't need to
- memorize the path to your rssfeedmagic.php
- create a new static page
- where it says: "PHP: [do not execute PHP] Warning: PHP code in your page will be evaluated if you enable this option. Use with caution !!" select [execute PHP]
- enter the code from the example into your staticpage. WITHOUT the leading and trailing ?php tags!
- where it says "require_once ("..../rssfeedmagic.php");" enter the memorized path to that file
This is a part of my code:Text Formatted Coderequire_once("/home/xdykylfj/public_html/RSSFeedMagic/RSSFeedMagic.php");
$RSSFeedMagic1 = &new RSSFeedMagic();
$RSSFeedMagic1->setCacheLimit(600);
$data1 = $RSSFeedMagic1->fetch("http://www.heise.de/newsticker/heise.rdf", 10);
unset($RSSFeedMagic1);
print $data1;
If you want to add another feed to the same page, just copy that and increase all 5 numbers ($RSSFeedMagic1 > $RSSFeedMagic2)- instead of the heise newsticker (germans leading and best computer magazine ) just enter the url of the path you want and you should go

Thanks for the information geKow. I was also looking for a RSS feeder like this. I had to change 2 more things myself:
1 - Edit the public_html/RSSFeedMagic/lib/RSSFeedMagicParser.php and change the line require_once("../RSSFeedMagic/config.inc.php"); to point to a real path (instead of ..).
2 - I had to use "return $data1;" instead of "print $data1;". If I didn't use "return" it would display very strangely. I don't know why yet (learning the PHP basics right now). But if somebody knows why please enlighten me.

I also had to do this to get rid of the error but I still get this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: is_a() in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/mysite.com/httpdocs/RSSFeedMagic/RSSFeedMagic.php on line 64
This is line 64 in above file:
if(is_a($result, "RSSChannel")){
Help please. Also geKow on your page do you select
Centerblock: When checked, this Static Page will be displayed as a center block on the index page.

I wrote the author and he fixed my problem. If anyone else has this problem this is how he fixed it:
is_a() is a php function that appeared with PHP 4.2.0, maybe your php version is older ?
Anyway, if you want to fix it simply replace this:
if(is_a($result, "RSSChannel")){
with:
if(get_class($result) == "rsschannel"){

My next problem is I can't seem to change the look by changing the css file. I have changed some things in the standard.css file and have tried to access it with this:
$RSSFeedMagic1->setCss("../css/standard.css");
Any help on how to access a different css file?

The easiest way would probably to "import" the new css file in your current theme's css file. Use
@import url(url-to-new-file.css);
