Okay, so I'm trying to update my website and discovered the wondrous world of RSS feeds... After doing a lot of reading (that I barely understand) I'm came to the conclusion that it is probably possible to incorporate my RSS feed from LiveJournal into a custom design for my website. Yes, I know there's Wordpress and Blogger who for a nominal fee will allow you to do all kinds of things with your blog. However, I found that I can access my RSS feed from LJ without having to pay anything extra.
Long story short there are a couple of things I don't know how to do. If somebody could just point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it!
First of all: How do I incorporate my RSS feed into my website? I've looked around the internet and found RSS2HTML, but can't figure it out at all.
If there are any good "made for simpletons" tutorials out there I'd like to know.
Here's what I want to do: I'd like to have the main page of my website have the RSS updates show as part of the content within a table. I'd also like to be able to control the CSS fonts and such. Preferably, I'd like images and links to work within the updates on the main page.
Example of RSS feed URL from livejournal.com: http://username.livejournal.com/data/rss
OH! My site is hosted on my MobileMe account and I'm using Dreamweaver to put it together.
THANK YOU!!!
