As of now, I get the ENTIRE RSS into a String variable and then search through that string variable for a particular keyword. That keyword tells me that the date is the next 20 or so characters in the string. So, I extract those charactgers and convert them to the UNIX time format. From there on, it's a simple Sorting algorithm (BUBBLE SORT) and then the rendering of frames. So, in order to display the RSS in an HTML format, I'd have to write much more complicated code. Not that I'm not willing to do it - It's just that it is too time consuming. You are welcome to look at my existing code if you want to expand it. It's just plain PHP. Yeah I could do that.

Can you not just render the RSS into HTML and provide links to the latest posts? (I'm assuming you are able to get blogspot RSS and squarespace RSS. If you are not, what are you basing your sort on?)
