RSS Tools for Using Syndication

There are lots of tools and programs out there that can help you use RSS - from scripts to put up RSS feeds to programs for working with the feeds.

This is a nifty little tool that will help you add any number of RSS feeds to your website. Click on the "customize this widget" option and add the feeds you want. It comes pre-loaded with FeedBurner.
Rss Viewer - Syndicate RSS news feeds on your site using javascript
One of the best RSS tools for Web developers I've found. They have a bunch of feeds already sourced by title or you can use your own URL. Plus you can change the look of the feed so that it fits your site, including using CSS classes of your own. Very customizable and easy to use.
