XSL Transform Problem

i'm having trouble xsl fragment on page on website. trying feed recent 5 entries blog page on website , present them in descending order. web page @ following link:

 

http://localhost/sites/newclues/blog.asp

 

the asp code follows:

 

    <%
var mm_xsl = new mm_xsltransform();
mm_xsl.setxml("http://www.skilfulminds.com/feed/");
mm_xsl.setxsl("headlines.xsl");
response.write (mm_xsl.transform());
%>

 

the xml tranform seemed work correctly @ first, except didn't display in descending order. however, add blog feed displayed not updating either.

 

can offer insight i'm doing wrong.

 

the xsl fragment code below.
