   I have included the following code.
   

   <?php
   require_once (ABSPATH . WPINC . '/rss.php');
   wp_rss('http://alpha.libre.fm/rdf.php?fmt=rss&amp;page=/user/bananabob/recent-tracks',5);
   ?>

   And also tried
   

   <?php
   require_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/rss-functions.php');
   get_rss('http://alpha.libre.fm/rdf.php?fmt=rss&amp;page=/user/bananabob/recent-tracks', $num = 5);
   ?>

   as well as
   

   <?php
   require_once (ABSPATH . WPINC . '/rss-functions.php');
   // here's where to insert the feed address
   $rss = @fetch_rss('http://alpha.libre.fm/rdf.php?fmt=rss&amp;page=/user/bananabob/recent-tracks');
   if ( isset($rss->items) &amp;&amp; 0 != count($rss->items) ) {
   ?>
   <ul>
   <?php
   // here's (5) where to set the number of headlines
   $rss->items = array_slice($rss->items, 0,105);
   foreach ($rss->items as $item ) {
   ?>
   <li>
   <a href='<?php echo wp_filter_kses($item['link']); ?>'>
   <?php echo wp_specialchars($item['title']); ?>
   </a>
   </li>
   <?php } ?>
   </ul>
   <?php } ?>

   None of which display anything in my blog.
   Can someone help me solve this mystery.

   I think I might wait for Wordpress 2.8 It should be easier then!

   I have downloaded 2.8 beta 1 and use the following code
   

   <?php
   require_once (ABSPATH . WPINC . '/rss.php');
   SimplePie($feed_url = 'http://alpha.libre.fm/rdf.php?fmt=rss&amp;page=/user/bananabob/recent-tracks', $cache_location = null, $cache_duration = null) 
   
   ?>

   And get the following error:
   Fatal error: Call to undefined function SimplePie() in

   Help!

   You are complicating things - use the rss widget.

   How can you use a widget in the page contents rather than the sidebar?

   Where do you want to put this feed? Do you want it to come in as a post? Is it supposed to come in as content?

   NO - I want it not in the sidebar. I have divided the page up I use my own theme.

   I know you don't want it in the sidebar. What I was asking is do you want it to look like feed or are you trying to use someone's feed as content.

    It is not good to use someone else's feed as a post in your site. There would definitely be copyright issues.
