Ok, well the recommended app to use is feedjack, but I don't think
that's a good idea - it's incredibly complex and quite heavy for what
we want. Feedjack does look awesome, but its totally overkill for the
moment.

django-feedutil is a stripped back app that does exactly what we need
in two files (not including the empty __init.py__

http://code.google.com/p/django-feedutil/

I'll make an attempt to massage it into base.html today and let you know

cheers

-- 
These simple functions belong to a sub-class known as strictly
dominating functions, meaning that their output is always bigger than
their inputs. A striking fact, known as the complementation theorem,
holds for all such functions. It says there is always an infinite
collection of inputs that when fed into the function will produce a
collection of outputs that is precisely the non-inputs.
