I think I looked at CaRP, but I installed Gregraious - http://gregarius.net yesterday. I haven't really done much with it yet.

What made you decide on gregarius? I am still up in the air on deciding myself.

It's pretty.

Plus, it performed the function I needed it to do. I still have to see how difficult customizing it will be. I'd like to limit it to only the newest update from each RSS feed, but it seems to want to list everything from a feed in row.

The docs were written by a member of the geek squad it seems, but after alot of hair pulling and cussing I got it figured out to a degree.

I broke down and bought evolution. The plugins in it make it really powerful, especially the save feeds to database bit.

I recently started messing with joomla, www.joomla.org , too. It has a plugin that does the same, archiving feeds to categories and allowing for manipulation of the archived data... virtually unlimited content.

I'm no guru by any means and struggle to get things figured out, but i'm open to help anyone that may need it... just PM

Here's my follow-up...
I've ended up finding a combination of WP plugins to do perform the function I was hoping for. I'm using FeedWordPress for RSS syndication along with the_excerpt_reloaded for pagination. I only have two feeds added thus far, but it's seems to be testing quite well. I had to drop Gregarius since there really wasn't any form of pagination, which meant that there was no way to control post length. With the_excerpt_reloaded, I can limit post length and force readers to go to the feed's originating site in order to read the entire post. And bingo was its namo.
