Personally, I like the way it is now. Though if you really want to add the RSS feeds, don't make them front and center. People come here to read the writing and participate in the debates here, not to see what's going on on other blogs.
Me? I'd keep the current user tools column-main blog column-diaries column FP format we have now (and replicate it in the diary screens too) and put the RSS doodads under the user tools boxes.

Almost anything can produce an RSS feed .. our wiki produces several for instance.
And is a Spanish language "section" of ET a separate blog or not?
