            !! Actual PluginRSS output
This banner uses PluginRSS to display an RSS feed from tiki.org, plus an image from the themes.tiki.org file gallery. 

The problems shown here:
* The information produced by the RSS feed is overly technical and repetitive rather than natural language. It's not clear how to fix this on the receiving end. It seems like it needs to be improved at the output/creation end.
* While the number of items display can be limited to one, the sorting of items is most-distant first. It might be possible to use CSS to hide all items but the nearest upcoming one, which I'll try if a sort order parameter isn't added to PluginRSS soon.

!! Mockup of better output
This banner is a mockup to demonstrate what the ideal output might be. PluginRSS isn't used here; the content was added by hand.
