[Web4lib] Another RSS-related Question

[David Kemper]

Not sure if this will help you, Rachel. I have a web page which pulls
in content from various news sources (freely available news sources,
open to syndication via RSS).

I use a third-party script from feed2js (http://feed2js.org/). Pretty
good. Probably best if you ran it on your own server.
