I have an UL:

<ul id="news-feed">.....</ul>

I'd like to be able to append a LI to the top of the list and have that appended item slideDown into place.

$("#news-feed").append('<li">This is my item</li>').hide().slideDown();

Problem I'm having is the above code is sliding the news-feed item down, and not the appended item. Any ideas?
