RSS Feed Displayed on Your Website
Check out Grazr, a tool that will take an RSS feed and turn it into a neat little widget that you can put on any webpage. Using Javascript, Grazr lets you specify what feed you want, the width and height of the box, desired font and text styles, and you're good to go. This is a very easy way to grab the RSS feeds from other parts of your site and display them on your homepage. Great!

Having just played with it a bit, I have to say, Grazr's pretty nifty. Thanks!

Hi-
A net thing about using something like grazr is that it forces you to think about sensible ways of bundling feeds.
I offer one example in the Compleat Grazr/OPML Library interface v0.1a (?!)

And grazr doesn't have to be embedded to use. It also can read OPML, so it is in effect a feed browser too! I submitted a command to YubNub that mashes Grazr and TagJag search results: http://yubnub.org/kernel/man?args=grazjag
The browser address bar equivalent is
http://grazr.com/gzpanel?font=Tahoma,sans-serif&fontsize=8pt&view=o&file=http://tagjag.com/all/%s/opml
where %s is your search term:
example:
http://grazr.com/gzpanel?font=Tahoma,sans-serif&fontsize=8pt&view=o&file=http://tagjag.com/all/library+science/opml
Grazr can also, of course, browse static OPML:
