    Forget about my post. I misread it and was talking about something else. :( Anyway, if there is an option to display Product Datafeeds (and a tutorial too) just shoot me that info guys! if it's a WP plugin, better. :)

    Does the product datafeed have a similar format like RSS feed? If that's so, then I think you can get away with using autoblogging plugins like WP-O-Matic and FeedWordPress, which will grab the data and post them as different posts in your blog.

    If you product datafeed is similar to RSS feed....you can inport your own or other data feeds into WP through the lots of free plug ins, scripts available. Google for free WP data feed plug ins for RSS.

    Hope this helps. If you are looking for importing contents from article directories, you tube, yahoo answers etc automatically into your WP, I would suggest use CC WP plugin. PM me if you need more info.

    I have read of a few plugins that can semi-automate importing XML-formatted files. You'll have to define each of the labels within the XML file to properly format it into your site, which means that you still have to tinker around with the WP core. Try to imagine importing an XML file from Blogger to WordPress, where everything is mapped over properly to maintain the content formatting.

    In a nutshell, it's possible, but needs some manual coding and it's not for the faint of heart.

    Does the feed not have a JavaScript version that you can add into your template?
