So you want to add synicated content to your site but don't want to use javascript? Understandable.
You've found some parsers out there, but they seem too complicated?
The solution is here (it's actually a solution that's been around for a few years, now), and was developed, modified and jimmied around by Tim Baxter and Jamon Abercrombie as a way to parse MULTIPLE feeds through a single, simple script.
There has only been one feed brought into this parser, and it is setup so that each item in the feed is being output as a list item. The # of items displayed rule has been set to >0 & <6, so that the five most recent items in each feed are displayed.
