I'm not a tech guy so I'm looking for a very easy way to work RSS feeds into a future project. I don't know CSS or CSI Miami even :)
I'd just like to throw some html in and have it work if that's possible.
Thanks for any help!

Easiest way is to put a wordpress blog on your domain, then just write posts about the pages you have on your site, kinda like a latest news or something like that, and just let wordpress handle the rss side

rss2html is definately the way to go and it really is simple. If you can't get ahold or Pat I'l usually on ICQ (really just send me a message)

Hey guys, can you use that to "throw some html" on a regular site...not a blog, but say a div on my main page and have updated entries somewhere on the page..?

RSS2HTML is great for doing that. Nothing more than designing a template in HTML and doing a PHP include.

I want to use this on my main site...gotta do some more digging. I'm glad Sheepguy brought this up, something I've been wanting to do for sometime now! And thanks Walrus for getting me pointed in the right direction..

If you want something more flexible, I'm using SimplePie (http://simplepie.org/) to fetch the 'Latest Galleries' and 'Todays Thumbnails' at AllYourSex (http://allyoursex.com/). Will gladly offer any assistance if you want to go that way.
