I am in the planning process of my RSS Reader project. I am creating an RSS Reader because I want to exercise my Java skills for the end of the summer and create something that maybe people who actually use besides a stupid text editor. I know there are tons of open source RSS Readers with highly sophisticated options and features but I am not all in to that. I want to develop something simple and easy to use.

The main reason why I am posting is because I have a problem with parsing and formating the RSS document. I am able to get the RSS document from the websites such as PFO's but I want to parse it and format it to an easy on the eyes display. I have no experience in XML and for this project I think it will enhance my skills in Java by doing something I know while learning something new.

Any help or suggestions guys??

Side Note:
I came around this website, http://xerces.apache.org. I know it's a open source XML Parser for Java but I know no clue how to use it.
