    Im too lazy to post regular posts on my blog, and thought of O'sourcing it, but. is there any way of automating this via Other peoples blog posts/feeds to appear on my blog as they post them on their blog.

    A kinda feed system that posts their blog post (which they have given permission for us to post) onto my blog using plugins? or twitter for example?

    eg- If MYBLOG want the posts of BLOGGER2 on my blog, then if BLOGGER2 posts 6 blog posts this month, I will Automatically get them 6 Blog posts on my blogs via plugings, without even doing anything.

    Can ths be done, whats the best way to do this? + What plugins would i need?

    Really? A member from 05 asking this? :confused:

    With the latest WP. 2.8 Simple Pie has been introduced as a core feature, which helps to reduce the amount of plugins you install.

    To pull in feeds just create a post / page or publish in sidebar as usual and use the following

    <?php 
    include_once $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/wp-includes/class-simplepie.php'; // path to include script
    
    $feed = new SimplePie();
    $feed->set_feed_url('[B]CHANGE TO FEED ADDRESS[/B]');  // specify feed url
    $feed->set_cache_duration (999); // specify cache duration in seconds
    $feed->handle_content_type(); // text/html utf-8 character encoding
    $check = $feed->init(); // script initialization check
    ?>
    
    <?php if ($check) : ?>
    <?php foreach ($feed->get_items(0, 7) as $item) : ?>
    
    <h2><a href="<?php echo $item->get_permalink(); ?><?php echo $item->get_title(); ?></a></h2>
    <p><?php echo $item->get_description(); ?></p>
    <p><small>Posted on <?php echo $item->get_date('j F Y @ g:i a'); ?></small></p>
    
    <?php endforeach; ?>
    <?php else : ?>
    
    <h2>Feeds currently not available</h2>
    <p>Please try again later</p>
    
    <?php endif; ?>
    Code (markup):

    Hope that helps.
