 * It would be great to allow the usage of a simple custom template. {title} {url}..
   etc
 * Granted you can customize anything with CSS however, a custom template will allow
   the inclusion of other data as well… ex. combining both feed data with other 
   relevant references that gets pulled from other sources.
 * Great plugin.

 * Hey Ash, can you expand on how you would use this? I’d like to understand the
   use case and I’ll definitely consider it.

 * Hi Jean,
 * In my blog I have several authors, each author also has another blog elsewhere,
   I would like to merge RSS feeds from their external blogs using WP-RSS-Aggregator,
   since each feed, technically corresponds to an author (WP account), i want to
   be able to link their names to their blog profiles along with other relevant 
   data.
 * I understand that 90% of people using this plugin may not have this setup since
   it’s obviously requires a custom template/setup, but being able to control the
   template itself would allow be not to tamper with the wp-rss-aggregator code 
   itself to render the desired output.
 * Having a template, I can setup something like
 *     ```
       {feed_data}
       %author_avatar% <a href="http://mywebsite/author/{feed_name}">{feed_name}</a>
       ```
   
 * In other words, having templates, gives full flexibility to the user.
 * Cheers!

 * Hi Ash,
 * This is an idea I’ve been toying with for some time, hopefully templates based
   on such tags will be one of the next add-ons we will develop.
 * Here is what I had looked at:
