Removing the [] is the right thing to do:


OpenLayers.Layer.GeoRSS("Slashgeo", "http://slashgeo.org/index.rss");
map.addLayer(georss_layer);

However, it looks like you've removed your ProxyHost line. Without this,
it's not possible to load data from a remote host:

If you read that FAQ, and are still having problems, please respond and
we can investigate the issue further.
