Thanks Xav,
You showed me the way to do it with the existing modules.
With Views and Panels I'm able to achieve the desired layout of the page. In the left block of the Panel I have added the news item from the aggregator. This is working great. However, the aggregated news displays only the News Feed Title and individual news item titles in this block. Is there a way to get the news body to display in this block along with the news item titles?
I appreciate the support I am receiving from this list. I hope Xav or another kind soul can show me how to do this.
Thanks,

Hello List,
I want to customize the front page of a new Drupal site. I want three columns in the front page other than the left and right side bars. Two of these columns should aggregate news from RSS feeds. The third column should contain the regular posts from page and story nodes promoted to the front page.
Below is the layout of the front page I want to achieve
Header
Left Sidebar| News 1| News 2| Page/Story nodes| | Right side bar
Footer
What are my options? Can I achieve this through configuring blocks and aggregator? Are there any modules that can do this? Do I need to write new PHP code?
I would appreciate any ideas, suggestions or pointers.
