Latest Content widget from an rss feed

Hello,

I am wanting to use an rss feed to make a 'latest content' widget. Kinda like http://www.tintup.com/ but i would like to write this myself. Styling it up is the easy part but im not sure how to specify the structure of the layout as a template.

any help would be amazing :D

Thanks

Hey Michael,

Would you mind clarifying what exactly what the code should do that you are having trouble creating? You mention a template: are you using a piece of software or a framework that uses templates? What language do you think you'll need to use to write this code?

Currently I am using weebly as the platform for my website. I have a blog on the site that produces a RSS feed. Currently you can put the rss feed in as latest content but this just puts in the titles of the posts. What I would like is to for this feed to have the picture with the title. Im not sure which language would be best?
