I need help from the technologically gifted folks out there.
I want to be able to do two things: FIRST, I want to be able to create an RSS feed that will show the five most recent posts for several feeds. SECOND, I want to be able to put an XML button next to each blog on a blogroll so that people can subscribe to that blog's feed.
Both of these ideas are related to the SBC Aggregator site I'm working on. I have some definite ideas about what I want to do, but absolutely no clue as to how to do it. I THINK I've found a way to do the first, but not the second. And I DON'T want to have to hand edit my blogroll. I already thought of that ....
I appreciate any input you all can give me. I'm not totally new to this stuff, but I'm venturing out into uncharted (for me) territory. Anybody got a map?

As for an RSS feed that aggregates other feeds you could use similar technology to pull it off, it depends on the level of control you want over the feeds subscribed to
