my suggestion would be just above or just under calendar (with or without advert)
shouldn't contain more then the first (or first 3) headlines (no content, just title linked to the actual content)

and here's a quick and dirty preview on how you could integrate in the frontpage , not really styled, but it does the job, and doesn't push important things off screen
(you can use a substr function to cut off too long titles, to prevent spreading on multiple lines)

anyway, you can just make the rss look like this
Code:
<rss version="0.91">
<channel>
<title>Photoshop Contests on Photoshopcontest.com</title>
<link>http://www.photoshopcontest.com/</link>
<description>Photoshop Contest News</description>
<language>en-us</language>
<item>
<title>Newstitle</title>
<link>http://photoshopcontest.com/link</link>
<description>Content (abbreviated or full)</description>
</item>
<item>
<title>Newstitle</title>
<link>http://photoshopcontest.com/link</link>
<description>Content (abbreviated or full)</description>
</item>
</channel>
</rss>
this should be pretty easy to code, there can be as much items as you wish (i think 5 to 10 should suffice)

yeah, really. You can't go wrong with a site full of coders and artists. Well, you can. But not as often. Right?
