  3. Hello
    I have a question and like your advice.
    I would like to achieve the following, not sure what is needed.
    1. RSS feeds to Post (I will subscribe to a few RSS feeds and the feeds will be converted into WP posts)
    2. When the user clicks on my post, it will display an ad for 10 seconds before it will be redirected to the original URL in the RSS feeds.
