Self Hosted Lifestreams Using SimplePie

Manuella’s tutorial is a great place to start.

Yes, it’s a snap with SimplePie! Anyone interested can download files to create a standalone SimplePie-powered lifestream from here.

Took me awhile to read all the comments, but I really love the article. 
It proved to be very useful to me and I am sure to all the commenters here! 
It’s always nice when you can not only be informed, but also entertained! I’m sure you had fun writing this article.
Comfortably, the article is really the sweetest on this precious topic.
