I'm currently playing with magpierss .. it's pretty easy:

require_once('magpierss/rss_fetch.inc');
$rss=fetch_rss("http://theducks.livejournal.com/data/rss");

$i++;
if ($i < 5) {
if ($i > 1) { echo ""; }
echo "$item[pubdate] - $item[title]
$item[summary]
Comment on this
";
}
}
echo "Archives";
?>

Yeah, I know. That type of thing is why I have a problem. Looks like there may be solutions out there though - LiveJournal supports this OpenID thingy that looks like it will allow me to aggregate locked posts (at least it had better, or else I really don't see the use in it).

Wouldn't want to miss out on any clueful ramblings.
