[wplug] web content monitoring script

[Robert L. Jeffries]

Any idea how I could put an RSS feed from let's say www.slashdot.org or
www.securityfocus.org onto a website of mine?

You can grab their RSS feed (http://slashdot.org/index.rss).  There is
software out there that will check the feeds you tell it to and then
display
them nicely for you.  I can't think of the url for that right now.
