? Well you'll need something to parse the feed and output it as html. Which can be done with PHP. There are plenty of RSS readers/parsers. Just do a quick google search and you'll find quite a few.

You can use wordpress with a plugin that will pull news from sites and display them on your site in different catogories giving it a similiar feel to the way topix works.

Heres a good one.

CSS is cascading style sheets and is used for design and layout of web pages. More info can be found at http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/

RSS is used for syndicating news articles, Ussually to allow other people to display that news on their own web site or in a program such as feedreader (http://www.feedreader.com/)
