Why would you want a website that just reproduces someone else's site in an annoying counter-intuitive fashion? This isn't 1997, your home page isn't going to become a major internet portal, people aren't going to go to your site when they want the news, they'll go to news.bbc.co.uk or some other news site.

If you by "your site" you mean some personal page you use as a homepage then I guess that's more than fair thing to try and do, although tenner says you'll still get sick of the scrolling in a few weeks and look to another solution for your RSS.

RSS is one of the greatest inventions this side of the millenium, it has yet to be fully exploited by nearly all by a few who know what they're doing and can get it to do control their entire computer, but for the rest us meagre mortals we can only hope they share some knowledge.

Erm, well that was a long winded semi-offensive way of saying "I haven't a clue, but wish I did".
