Just like using the many twitter or facebook widgets out there that pull the feed and display it in a nice widget, I want to create a "widget" that pulls a feed from a wordpress blog that I have, and displays it on a static, non-wordpress page. Before I try getting my hands dirty with jquery, do you know if there is any pre-existing code or plugins out there that I can use?

You can plug into Wordpress's RSS feed using the jFeed plugin. Check out this question.

Do I need to parse XML with jquery to get an xml feed?

@Jchase I'm not sure what you mean? RSS is a XML-based format. WordPress automatically serves blog posts using RSS, check out the RSS symbol on your blog. There's a default URL but I can't remember it right now. (`/rss`?)

I found this plugin to be the easiest to use, and quicker than jfeed on load.

Using Google's Gfeed plugin (using jquery), the result can be achieved easily. The Solutions is outlined here: http://www.w3cgallery.com/w3c-blog/jquery/how-to-fetch-rss-feed-by-jquery
