## Description

Less than 40 lines of php code so it will not slow your site and if all you

 offer
.

    [rss url="http://www.usacycling.org/rss/headlines.rss" no="20" target="_self"]

    You can change the template used via wp-admin/options.php , look for
    'rss_shortcode_template'
    Template fields documentation:
        _TITLE_  : the rss feed title line
        _LINK_   : the link to the complete store, aka permalink
        _MSG_    : the short message/description; the first few 
                   lines of the post/story
        _DATE_   : post date & time
        _TARGET_ : the link target
    ```

Nothing fancy. You have to hack the code to fix html elements or to get thumbnails,
but it works.
