Need to input the following RSS feed which is in rdb format, hopefully into a database table in vBulletin. Then create a module to display the latest reading on my cmps_index page and maybe at the bottom of all my pages. I am a newbie so I understand the concept; just don't know how to start & finish

I would need step by step instructions since I am so green, i.e
Go to adminCP or MySQL to create table, etc.
Use this code to load table;
Go to cmps and add module, etc.
Use RSS or AboutToday or this code to go get the data every hour or maybe just twice a day.

There are comment lines before the data that start with #. The first row of the data defines the columns. After that is the real data. I would want to load rows into the database that are unique by Date & Time. Each read is usually an hour apart. Then, again my module would display the latest reading with Date, Time and Level.

Here is a paste of the data coming in. URL is: USGS Level @ Lake Murray, SC I don't know how to make this box bigger Maybe a Moderator/Member would teach a newbie how? PM is OK.
