    Hi - I'm hoping to have the headlines from an RSS feed display on websites similiar to how they have done for Ning sites. Example: www.emsconnect.com - See right hand column, "EMS1 Daily News"

    Any suggestions for the best solution to do this? (widgets, html etc..)

    Thanks,
    Rudy

    Try lastrss (a great freeware rss parser), or have a look at doing it yourself using CURL and PHP's simplexml_load_string - here's a great little tutorial: http://jonplante.com/blog/parsing-rss-feeds-with-php/

    It's simpler than it looks, and is definitely something worth learning :) AND you won't be relying on third party sites to parse the feed.
