Right, I've managed to get the thing going and have styled it a bit with css, but the feed is pretty long - what way - if any - is there of controlling the number of items in the feed?

Until I get familiar with what each piece of the code does and get more adept at rss feeds generally I will almost certainly require more help, but I have to say that I do really appreciate your helpfulness.

To show my good faith in the meantime would a link from my website Library Ireland: Irish History and Culture to your site be of any use?
