    What are you using to display the feeds? Looks nice though.

    That's very cool. I just got done adding an RSS feed to my site. You can view it here: Project Responder News. I'm using the msxml object to get the feed and then I wrote some code to parse the xml and display it on the page. There is a smaller snippet on the home page as well.

    RSS is so great. I've found several sites through my logs that have pulled down my rss feed and are sending me traffic. Now I'm gathering news and displaying it on my site.

    Not a bad idea, but I personally don't like the layout, text is too close together. Can't simply read the new posts. Maby consider using link_blank so I can easily turn back to the overview.

    TwisterMC, you could use http://magpierss.sourceforge.net/ to display feeds, works great!

    Does anyone know how to output, say 5 feeds, in one block organized by date? Basically joining all five feeds into one big one before parsing.

    I think that is possible in the paid version of carp. You are able to load the feed into a mysql database, and from there the sorting would be easy.

    Yea after second looking, the text does run together a little. Try adding this to your code, it will add a space between each line. 

    CarpConf('ai','<br>');
    PHP:
    You might be able to control the space better by replacing the <br> with something else?

    Sure, I had to figure it out for myself anyways! :p

    Also, throw this at the end of each section 
    echo '<p>';
    Code (markup):
    That way there is a little space between each new sites feed.
