I've done a bit of searching and can't find anything on this topic, probably because it's so obvious.
I have five bog feeds that I want to display topics in a ddblock, that will update with the next group of topics in the feeds and go through the list. I get the first five topics to show, but nothing happens, it's just static. It seems to work exactly like a standard block with the feeds. Can this be done, am I doing something wrong? Do I need php code to get it to update for the next group of topics?
I have tried to add each block as an instance, and the standard block with all five feeds was added as an instance. I'm pretty sure permissions are correct, at least the ddblock shows when it should.

Any idea?
Surely someone else must have tried to do the same thing. Any ideas?
Dynamic display block module options
Have a look at the how to: How to create the Recent comments effect with the dynamic display block slideshow module for Drupal.
Your feeds block is a similar block. You need to set the content container to: li (from list item) in the dynamic display block configuration page.
Hope this helps you further, please let me know.
That works now, but only one topic shows...
Thank you!!
That works now, but only one topic shows. Is there a way to have more than one topic show in the ddblock? Ideally it would be one topic from each of the five feeds showing each time. I created five separate ddblocks to do the same thing, but this gives it a weird spacing and isn't very elegant.
I thank you so much for all the help.
