How hard can it be?

One of the things that I'd quite like to include on this proposed homepage of professional(-ish!) stuff is an RSS feed from this and possibly other blogs. Obviously, there are tools out there to make that easy (Feed2JS being one of them, and the one that I'm using at the moment).

But I quite like to know exactly what's going on under the hood in these things, so I'm going to have a quick go at putting together a home-grown version of it. How hard can it be, right? I get an XML file (the feed itself) and parse it. There have to be a thousand and five ways of doing that!

Optimism. What a fantastic feeling!
