There is no doubt that there are many places to grab widgets of your RSS feed to display on other pages as a badge in flash or javascript form. The newest resource to toss into this endless bucket would be WidgetEasy. Playing a little ‘bit with the site this morning - I do have to say it is easy. All you do is put in your RSS feed address into the box, they they spit back out a javascript box with all your links.
Then all you have to do is copy and paste the widget code onto any web page out there to display the widget on that specific web site. Ranks high in the pretty neat category. Doesn’t give a bad presentation. I would give this one two freaky Mitchelaneous thumbs up.

When in Google Reader you can choose to create a widget where you can display the stories or links you have wanted to share with others. That is how I created the Mitchelaneous Links Web page I told you about yesterday. I have been getting a few E-mails though from folks wanting to know how I got it to display more than ten items at a time.
Take a look at the javascript code Google gives you to post on your own Web site. The specific part you want to look for is broadcast?n=5. Change the number five to any number you wish, and that is how many shared stories that you will display.
