The RSS widget will let you display entries from any RSS feed.

Some RSS examples:

• http://en.blog.wordpress.com/feed/ – WordPress.com news feed
• http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/Opinion.xml – New York Times Op-Ed headlines
• http://www.amazon.com/rss/tag/sci-fi/popular/ – Most popular Sci-fi products on Amazon

There are RSS feeds all over the web. To find the feed of a blog, Flickr stream, or whatever else, look for the standard feed icon , or the word “subscribe” or “feed”. Right (or control on a Mac) click and copy the URL – usually by using the “copy link” or “copy link location” option available.
