 * I love the idea of the RSS widget. But it seems very hard to customize.
 * 1) If I leave the title blank, it seems to automatically pull the feed title 
   and force it to be there. Is there some way to override this?
 * 2) Secondly, there seems to be a sizable delay for updating it. IS this adjustable?
 * For comparison, see this feed:
    [http://feeds.feedburner.com/csrwire/PRfeed](http://feeds.feedburner.com/csrwire/PRfeed)
 * I am trying to pull it into the bottom of this sidebar: [http://www.triplepundit.com](http://www.triplepundit.com)
 * Note that it’s 5 posts delayed. Also, the title is only blank because I put a“
   nbsp” in the field, but it still forces me to have that little RSS icon and line.
 * Any cure for this? I know HTML very well, but there seems to be no way to edit
   the template for this widget.

 * How does this thing update anyway? does it hold a cache somehow?
