    SonnyCool, If you're using a theme, then you're probably using a CMS right? In that case, since you probably won't want to edit the php on the server, then you can use javascript. Parsing an Rss feed with javascript and displaying it in a well formed way isn't a trivial exercise. I created an RSS widget for http://cyborgelf.com and it's about a hundred lines of code.

    RSS Feed: <?php bloginfo('rss_url'); ?>

    RSS 2.0 Feed: <?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>

    Atom Feed: <?php bloginfo('atom_url'); ?>

    Hope that helps :)

    You can use CARP to display RSS feeds on your wordpress blog. Do a google search for geckotribes and look for carp on the geckotribes site. Its a free RSS parser designed just for wordpress.

    There is very little to no coding required. You install CARP, and then insert the script where you want the feed to display and set the parameteres - such as the source site, how many articles you want displayed and if you want the links to open in a new window,,,,.
