Ok so i thought it would be a good idea to write an RSS feed reading into the project that im currently working on.
Based on this i found the following code:

Public Shared Function ProcessRSS(ByVal rssURL As String, ByVal feed As String) As String
Dim request As WebRequest = WebRequest.Create(rssURL)
Dim response As WebResponse = request.GetResponse()
Dim sb As [...]

Im still trying to figure out whats going on with this wordpress thing, so please bare with me.
It may take me a few days to get all of the piccys back up aswell
