Using and formating an RSS feed.

Question

Ok, here is my RSS feed link http://jacobnlsn.com/wordpress/?feed=rss. And I am looking to format it so it fits in the upper right hand spot of my header. My website is here http://jacobnlsn.com/. Its the black box in the upper right hand corner. How would I go about doing something like that? Thanks for your time!

Answer 1

Try an RSS parser, which also caches the feed to save everyone time and money:

And a ticker or scroller - a decent one can be found here:

Answer 2

You could build your own RSS parser in the language of your choice. As you use PHP, SimpleXML functions provide a simple solution.
