Is there an easy way to combine multiple blogs posts into a single, daily RSS item?

I wrestled in vain this morning with Yahoo Pipes—my arch-nemesis and occasional collaborator—and we've both given up. Is there an automated, dummy-proof method for bundling a set of posts from my blog into a single RSS item?

Ideally, that means I'd post three separate entries on Monday and they'd show up in my feedreader early the next morning.

I know there are several services out there that will do this, but the first one that came to mind was ChimpFeedr because I came across it most recently.

Super simple.

I don't think what I linked to what get you what you want. Sorry!

What blog software do you use?

Serialized feeds, maybe?

btw this is simple to do with a blog software where the RSS feed is just another content template... but wordpress does not appear to work in this fashion (I don't use it, so I'm not positive about that). From quick googling, the plugin in the link above may be the only way to achieve what you're looking for without a hack in the core program.

friendfeed does this too.
