    So I've resorted to forking over cash for a solution to a rather simple issue I have with a current blog.

    Here is what I'm looking for:

    Let's say I have an empty section of my blog that needs something in it. I've decided that I want a plugin that will pull industry related RSS feed links (like a list of 5 or 10 of them or whatever), so that people can click on them and it takes them to whatever article it is.

    I've seen many blogs who do this - but now that I actually want it myself, I can't find the right plugin to do it.

    For example: If my blog is about Horse Racing, I want to be able to input a keyword or whatever, and the plugin should pull the latest article links to news about horse racing. Make sense?

    If you know what plugin I need, please PM me, and the first person to offer me a simple solution (because this surely can't be difficult) I'll Paypal $5 to them :)

    Thanks!

    plug in you're looking for is called FeedWordPress. It's an RSS aggregator, you'll need a relevant RSS feed, which could be a google news feed with "horse racing" as keyword phrase, which pretty much means THIS ONE:

    PS - don't worry about paying me $5, glad if I could help :)

    Well, I appreciate the answers above and the PM I received - but I still have an issue. The Feedpress plugin blew my mind - and while I'm not a PHP coder, I'm no stranger to WP or modifying. For what I'm looking for, that is ENTIRELY too complex.

    There HAS to be a plugin out there somewhere where I activate it, go to some simple configuration screen and enter the feed URL I want to pull from, and place whatever snippet of code I need to place in the section in question to show 10 links or whatever. All I need this for is filler. I need to fill an empty section of my blog with something, and I figured links to related feeds that auto update would be ideal. It cannot be this hard!

    Anyone else have any advice? Offer is still open...
