Hello! My site currently has KickApps widgets pulling RSS feeds into flash widgets for display on the home page. However, this method vastly increases load time (especially for SEO robots) and doesn't allow for much manipulation of the content (i.e. being able to pick and choose which elements from the feed to show/hide). I was wondering if there was a Drupal module that could first allow us to render the RSS feeds faster as HTML or javascript instead of the flash, or at least allow the data to be cached by users so they don't have to reload every time. Also if there was one that would give us more freedom to pick and choose which elements of the feed to show. Would a module like Advanced cache (http://drupal.org/project/advcache) help with this problem at all? Thank you very much!
Start with FeedAPI here: http://drupal.org/project/feedapi Feed elements can be mapped into nodes and then you could manipulate them like any Drupal content. Lots of related modules, but that might get you going...
