how easy is RSS fed content integrated on webpage

["draafal" <jelle@getalife.com.au>]

Hi there,

Can somebody answer a few question I have about RSS? 

 
1) How much work is involved for webmasters to integrated the RSS-
code in their page, and have the content feed displayed within a 
page-area of defined dimensions (width and height)? 

2) Is having external content integrated within their webpages just 
a matter of cutting and pasting the XML-code of the RSS file in 
their back-end? Or is there some development involved for webmasters 
to be able to do this (and have RSS feeds on their site?) In that 
case:

3) How much work is involved? Is this easy code (html or script?), 
and are there templates or guides available? 

4) Would it be feasible to send webmasters RSS code, together with 
the code to equip their web-pages as a `RSS fed content aggregator'?

5) How many websites are really geared up to have RSS feeds? Or are 
we only talking about a hand-full of portals?

6) To date we are using iframes to syndicate our content. What is 
the difference? What advantages does RSS have for webmasters? (I 
know RSS has advantages to site-users, but this is another matter)


I really would appreciate a response ? please assume I am a 12 year 
old child with no real knowledge of html, xml or any scripting code 
(asp, php etc?)


Other syndication alternatives to RSS and iframe also greatly 
appreciated.

Warm regards,
