PUBLISHING RSS FEEDS IN HTML

I've discovered webrss.com, which has provided a partial answer to the immediate issues of how to publish content to my site. I've managed to combine multiple RSS feeds (for Free!) into a single home page, but am starting to realise that it's only part of the solution. Because the feeds are in javascript they take a while to load up - something that you can get away with in PHP. In refreshing my website I'm also starting to realise quite how much work it's going to take to re-build my site. I just can't believe wordpress is going to provide the solution, but we'll see. I'm starting to think a combination of RSS feeds in a PHP site is the only way. I must resist.

Update (10th June 2010) - Although WebRSS works it doesn't. Sometimes nothing appears on the page at all which is a problem when most of the page is now built using feed mashups. There doesn't seem to be an easy way to publish the content through feeds without using PHP.
