OK I’ve figured it out.

I used RSS2HTML, and got the results I needed.

For an example, checkout:

http://forum.blandname.com

Basically, you just include the RSS2HTML.php file in front-page.php, set the template location in the RSS2HTML.php file, and pick how many entries you’d like to have displayed.

To play with the look and feel, you can use the sample-template.html file, and tweak ’til your heart’s content.
