    I need to extract most recent post from rss feed on each of eight different blogs, and then post as text in separate divs on a static XHTML page. Is there a program out there that might work? (feed.informer's new owners seem unresponsive so I don't think that's a good option).

    that will involve PHP, can you not sever PHP instead of HTML?
    are the 8 blogs yours?

    Just curious: how does this question relate to WordPress? Are these WordPress blogs you're taking RSS feeds from? Are you displaying the feeds inside a WordPress blog?

    Go into the admin area of WordPress and find out where the function is that displays the RSS feeds there. Take that code and paste it into a template to see if it works. You might need to rewrite some of it for use in the main area of your blog. This is pretty old, but it might help:

    Also, it needs to be a PHP page, so .php, .phtml, ,.phtm would all be acceptable extensions. Otherwise you need to look into a JavaScript solution if you simply must keep .html as your extension.
