It's much more straightforward just to have your webserver read the messages
from that sub on your BBS and add the content to your page directly, skipping
the intermediate RSS-and-offsite-formatting step.

Whether or not you're using my bulletin lister (Bullshit) you can use the two
files I committed to the CVS recently for this purpose:

xtrn/bullshit/bullshit.ssjs
xtrn/bullshit/999-bullshit.xjs

'bullshit.ssjs' can stay in the 'xtrn/bullshit/' directory, while
'999-bullshit.xjs' contains the necessary stuff to dump messages out from the
webserver, formatted for web-v4 (which it looks like you're using).  You can
copy the contents of '999-bullshit.xjs' into your existing home page, or set it
up as its own page if you like.  I'll tidy it up a bit later, but for now just
be aware that this line specifies which sub-board (by internal code) and how
many messages to display:

bullshit('bullshit', 5);

You can use that same function to dump out x number of messages from any
sub-board, it's not really specific to my bulletin lister.
