RSS Feeds

How do,
Before I had my computer buggered by a virus, I had a really good homepage which I made myself with links to the websites I use most often (mostly midget porn to be honest). Seeing as it's been wiped off, I'm wanting to do another, but I was wondering if I would be able to have embedded into it something which reads RSS feeds from websites, like what's on the homepage of this site. Do I need some special software to do this, or is it a case of just linking to it somehow? I'm not the most gifted website creator in the world you see, as soon as it gets technical I tend to give up.
Cheers!

You could use something like 'My Yahoo' or Google Reader -

Asanet offered a service like this, but I'd suggest Google Personalised Homepage,
http://www.google.co.uk/ig
This offers numerous bvenefits, including personalised RSS feeds, bookmarks, and optionally your search history available anywhere.

Cheers for the tips guys, although I was thinking more along the lines of embedding the actual feeds into my own homepage that I've created, if you get my drift?

Google would be far less likely to lie on its back with its legs in the air for three days every time its tweaked!

If there's a server-side scripting language installed on your host's server, then there are plenty of scripts written in PHP, Perl and many other languages.
If your host does not, or if you don't have a clue what I'm going on about, then look at this page:

Sides are splitting. Quite why I let you continue to post on TV Forum when you do nothing but attack it or anything I'm connected to, I really don't know. Maybe one day you'll actually find you're no longer able to log in, Nick. Don't be surprised.
Anyhoo, back to the thread and thanks cdd for the advert but myasanet doesn't actually do it (at least not like Google IG). Funnily enough part of my final year uni project is bringing RSS feeds onto a user's homepage using php and mySQL. Type those keywords into Google and you should get some pretty good tutorials back. There's certainly ones describing how to convert XML content into an array which can then be output however you wish.
Without server side programming I can only think of you having a link to the raw RSS file but that sort of defeats the object!

Nick isn't attacking it... it seems as though he's tried to offer you advice on the website to help the running of it many times and he seems frustrated that you ignore/didn't want it.

This is so unfair. I've been a member for years and I've never got threats like this
