   I've got several WP-installations on the same domain name, they are installed as sub-directories so it looks something like this:

   example.com
      |
      +--- blogA
      +--- blogB
      +--- blogC

   Currently I've got one of these blog set at the main blog so when someone go to example.com blogA is shown. However, I was playing with the idea of having a common "landing page" for these blogs - so when someone visits example.com they would be shown a page with three columns with the latest entries from each of the blogs.

   But I don't really know what the best way to accomplish this is, could anyone give me some advise on this?

   You could make a static front page for BlogA to pull in RSS feeds from all three. Or do that via a regular PHP page and 'move' blogA from root back to BlogA.

   Either one works :)

   I was looking at making a static page for blog A but I can't figure out how to add a RSS parser to the page content. I can't find it in the documentation ... I found the code that is used for the rss widget but I'm unsure of how to use it from a page template.

   Does anyone have a hint on how to do this?

   Try this: http://www.corvidworks.com/articles/easy-feed-reading-with-simplepie

   It's what I used to do something similar back in the day :)

   WordPress has RSS built in, see the following for an example.

   Which replaces the older deprecated fetch_rss ...
