But having this kind of processing done at the server indeed allows you to "pipe" together different tools into some pretty interesting setups. Have you found it to be reliable enough to depend on?

Thanks! I had always used <a href="http://magpierss.sourceforge.net/">MagPie RSS</a> and for this specific instance, the server is on .NET so I recommended <a href="http://www.rssdotnet.com/">RSS Dot Net</a> to display the feeds.

Thing is that it's like 15+ blogs, and we had ourselves listed in del.icio.us, so I tried to pull the addresses from that feed. In the end I couldn't make the "Use this pipe" option appear. The del.icio.us feed is not always available, so the pipe gives some weird errors :-/ Maybe I'll have to enter each address manually. I tried to do the same for a blog ring I’m part of.

I've used Pipes to do that exact same thing. It's great when you need to combine a small to medium number of feeds in a hurry. If you have more time, <a href="http://simplepie.org">SimplePie</a> is awesome for twisting feeds in PHP. Great post. I’ve used Pipes to do that exact same thing.
