I had both an RSS converter built awhile back for me, as well as a site cacher for when those feeds sometimes have Net congestion probs and hold up the pageloads.
Looks like (which is what I pretty much figured) I'll also need to get another one made up to do the static thing. Glad to see it's possible and it exists. Again, many thanks.

This also cuts back on load time and bandwidth significantly. If you're using XML feeds on the fly, you download the data, parse it and spit out the results in realtime. Using the method above, the load time is static since your just opening a file and you eliminate constantly requesting the feed. I just refresh the data every 4 hours. So from a couple thousand times per day to 6 data loads.
