No problem. Realize that every ‘dedicated’ plugin that accesses an XML/RSS stream of some sort is duplicating functionality – and may be missing certain functionality (such as caching of the stream). CG-FeedRead is far from ‘fancy’; it’s actually designed to be a very basic XML/RSS processor, aggregator, link-creator, etc.
I’m not sure what’s cumbersome about CG-FeedRead, though some folks find uploading the cg-plugins folder somehow more complex (which with any good ftp program, it’s a drag and drop). Yes, under the hood, there are more files involved — then again, anything you use that bases off of Magpie not only has MANY more files involved, but uses much more cpu/ram in processing (at least from what I understand…).
Any time you want to take a look, just ping me at my site.
