I've fixed this - it's normally a security precaution (for the technical amongst you, think CSRF/Cross site scripting).  Doesn't apply here, because we have limited admin access.

We should have this packaged - if not, it's an easy one to add

So this is the RSS module, which has been packaged.

You can do this via the template - if I can catch you on IRC I can take you through it.

In the blocks?  I'll have to go through this one on IRC as well.

So this is slightly counter-intuitive, and complicated (unnecessarily so, I smell a feature request...)  Another thing I'll take you through on IRC.

I think it looks *great*.  Thanks for all your work, and figuring this stuff out on your own :)
