Latest news item RSS feed?

    I can get a list of latest news items easily enough from RSS feeds, but is there an RSS feed that outputs only the latest SINGLE item of news? In other words, an RSS feed of the latest item of news in a list of one item, not several? (I hope I’ve explained this well enough.)

    My explanation was probably inadequate. There is a script that returns a specified number of items in an RSS feed, which can be set to return 1 single item. It returns only the title of the item as a permalink, however, and I need it to return the content of the item also.

    So, I guess, the question really is: How can I display the content of an RSS feed item for which I have the title as a permalink?

    I’m very close. By guesswork I discovered that there’s a function ‘get_content’ that gets a “teaser” from the feed. Is there another function that gets the entire content?

    I imagine there’s no way to dig down into the content of the permalink. It looks like the teaser is as far as one can go.

    I guess I’ve solved my own problem. Thank you, Me!
