Hues, thanks for your quick response.
The other option I am exploring is the Feedburner snippet, which is basically an html code you add whereever you want the posts to be displayed. I tried it in my email signature and works well. We'll see how well it does in the homepage.
Here is the link from feedburner:

I like the idea of adding the posts to product detail pages, categories, sub-categories, etc, that can be handled by a simple html command within the post. I got a free mod in my blog that can show related posts according to keywords that are pull out automatically from the title and metags, or you can enter them manually if needed.
Perhaps this topic is not relevant for many people but us
