Only simple because you have done all the more complicated work by creating the pipe though. Cloning and editing is as far as I have managed in Pipes.

I'm still falling down on the spring widget. In your example, what was the URL you put in for the feed? Was it the pipe URL "pipes.yahoo.com/tnash/collectivethoughtscombo"? No matter what I do, the Spring Widget tells me my feed isn't available :( Hi Tim

We put together a mashup of several article feeds from our site - and popped it into feedburner. I have been using yahoo pipes since they opened it up.

I had a play with pipes a few weeks ago when I wanted to aggregate feeds from a range of bloggers. I managed to do it ok, and subscribe to it, but fell down when I tried to widgetize the feed (via a Spring Widget). I guess my aim was to create something like my own "blogrush" type of widget, but for feeds of my choice. Should this be possible, do you think? Hi Tim
