But the "0 day ago" has to be fixed if possible. I have fixed two of the design issues I mentioned on the above comment by moving the style properties to the external sheet and tweaking it a bit.

It would look better aligned to the left. Would it be possible to use "Today" instead of "0 day ago" for the updated entries? Also, the entry heading, can be turned to Black (a:link{color:black}), as in this blog. And can change color on mouse over as it happens now.

Ok, I have changes the RSS feed filename from latest.xml to mvblogs.xml sounds more relevant. The favicon.ico has been added to the channel information of the RSS feed. The latestUpdated.php filename has been changed to recentlyUpdated.php. For the problem of line breaks being truncated, We have to come up with a good way to recognize if feeds have both the summary and the description fields. If we're going to take the description field and leave it as is, but only truncating to our character limit, some html elements are going to break. For example it might be truncated between or within a link tag, or even an image tag. One thing we can do is develop an intelligent content reader, which will parse the description of the feed items and pick which elements it will use and reconstruct a more favorable formatted entry body for each of it, for our recently updated page. Any suggestions? Simon? Jaa?. I've added (...) the dots to the end of each description. One thing i don't like about the design is the entry bodies being indented to the right. doesn't look so good.
