building the rss reader

It is important for me to get news on the progress of the site up.  So a blog would be a normal thing to put up.  Yet at the same time I didn't like the idea of clicking on a link and going someplace else to read news of the site.  Why not just read the news straight from the site.  Thus an RSS reader was a grand idea.  Building it on the other hand has been a challenge all in itself.  I decided to use Actionscript 3 instead of Actionscript 2.   Actionscript 3 makes it so much more easier.  Still got a lot of work to do on the reader, but I got the base up.  So enjoy.
