You'll need to use PHP to read the XML file (the feed), parse it, and display the links.

Once you've read the XML file, you'll need to extract a few pieces of information.

A feed is made up of item elements - each of which should have some child elements. The ones you'll want to find are title and link to create a list of links back to the original articles.

If you're using PHP 5, you can use SimpleXML (http://us3.php.net/simplexml) to read and parse the feed. You could also check out this tutorial on SimpleXML and feeds (http://www.earn-web-cash.com/2008/02/09/simple-xml-rss-feed/).

If you're not using PHP 5, you'll need to find a third-party parser to do the work for you. Magpie RSS (http://magpierss.sourceforge.net/) is a popular one, but I've never used it myself.

Good luck,
