I am working on a XML course where we have to create a faceted classification system. The first step in the assignment is to take the first 30 items with in the RSS file and the put that into a xsl transform.
My confusion comes from how would I be able to take the first 30 items from this RSS file:

<title>Grandma's Cheesy Broccoli &amp; Chicken Casserole</title>
<link>http://www.recipezaar.com/399790</link>
<description>This is down home comfort food at it's finest. It was the
only way my grams could get me to eat my broccoli while growing up.
These days I use brown rice for a lower carb, healthier version.
Sometimes I also use chicken thigh instead of breast because it's so
much more tender. I hope you love it was much as I do. -- posted by

<title>Spicy Maple Hot Sauce</title>

<description>Very Spicy Pepper Sauce with a little bit of Sweetness. Sauce
may not taste very spicy when it first comes off the stove, it gets more
spicy with time. Let it sit a few days before using to allow flavours to
blend efficiently, But CAN be used right away. -- posted by <a

<description>Plain pizza base made from scratch. It's easy and non messy.

about four 9&quot; pizzas. -- posted by <a

<title>Stuffed Chicken Breasts With Apple Cider Vinegar Sauce</title>
<link>http://www.recipezaar.com/399807</link>
<description>This is a much altered version of a recipe I found online a
few years ago. I simplified it and it actually tastes better than the
more difficult version. My family loves this recipe. My husband
literally drinks the sauce. These are great for 4 or for 24. Very easy
to scale up for large dinner parties. -- posted by <a

<title>Rob's Mango and Chilli Chutney</title>
<link>http://www.recipezaar.com/399809</link>
<description>Adding 1 of the mangoes at the end, means that this chutney
retains a superb fresh flavour. Can be left in the fridge for 1 month or
preserved and canned for over 1 year (follow the canning notes link on
home page) Lovely with Indian or Mexican food or to enhance a cooked
meat and cheese platter. Add a spoonful to curries or mix with cold
shredded chicken, curry powder and mayonnaise for a lovely baked potato
or sandwich filling. Just make sure your mangoes are really ripe and
soft. -- posted by <a
