Will,

I believe this is the problem: With Scrubz, you have created an entirely new RSS pheed, which you haven't entered into either the Newz Tuel, or ZZ.

Since Scrubz is intended to work with all RSS programs, you need to upload the RSS pheed to a web site, then enter THE URL TO THE NEW PHEED into the Newz Tuel, then account for the new pheed in ZZ.

Scrubz does not change the content or pheeds in The Newz Tuel, it simply creates a new pheed. To use the new pheed, you have to enter it into Newz Tuel like any other RSS pheed. Just copy/paste the URL into the Custom Pheeds box.

I suggest you create a new category called "scrubz" where you can enter all of your own scrubz pheeds and update them from there.
