[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] RSS to display OPAC lists on wordpress sites?

Thanks everyone for your responses!
A couple of clarifications:
1. the images are already coded into the RSS feed--they are the 'thumbnail'
size which isn't ideal but if you put the feed url into Feedly or another
RSS reader you do get the images. Terran if you figured out how to extract
the larger images, that would be useful info!
2. we already use the automatically generated feeds to make our carousels
on our OPACs (and some libraries prefer to create their own lists manually
to feature certain items)--SPARK has had it for a while now, it went
haywire for a bit after our upgrade to 3.0 but it's working again :)

What we're trying go figure out how to do elegantly (& easily!) is to use
those RSS feeds on our external, wordpress-based webpages.
