Getting a remote RSS feed and parsing
rss.parseURL(feed_url, use_excerpt, callback);
**********************************************************************/
// URL of the feed you want to parse
var feed_url = 'http://feeds.feedburner.com/github';

Getting a local RSS feed and parsing
rss.parseFile(feed_file, use_excerpt, callback);
**********************************************************************/
