I have a City of Heroes related WordPress blog and would like to include the server status in a sidebar widget. Anyone know how to make that work?

It's an XML feed, not an RSS feed. I know I can get it to display in Powershell (by importing it into an array, and then formatting the output.) Basically it's a collection of text objects, so writing a widget to ingest and display them shouldn't be too tricky.

Not sure how WordPress handles an XML feed, though.


"City of Heroes. April 27, 2004 - August 31, 2012. Obliterated not with a weapon of mass destruction, not by an all-powerful supervillain... but by a cold-hearted and cowardly corporate suck-up."

I don't know a lot about feeds in general, so I'm at a loss.
