DNAjobs RSS Feed

Greg,

I am new to working with RSS feeds and am wondering why even though the DNAjobs blog has been updated, the feed on Nodalpoint has not updated in 1 day 18 hours. Is there something I need to do on my end or do you determine the frequency of your feed update. I'm just curious :)

Thanks,
Jason
