    I have 2 wordpress blogs and I want to show one feed on the other website. I know there is a feed widget for the sidebar but it does not pull in images. How do I get images and the title?

    Show an example of what you are talking about and I can tell you better how it is done.

    um Im not sure if I can post pictures yet...Im still a rookie?

    But if I had a picture/example I could figure out how to do it...

    i just want to display an rss feed on the sidebar of my blog (from another wordpress blog) that pulls in a photo with the title of the posts

    right now if you add an RSS feed using the wordpress widget, it only brings in the titles

    I'm assuming you are talking about self hosted wordpress.
    First, you can only get images from feeds that have pictures...not all of them do.

    Second, the standard RSS feed widget will not parse images, you need to get a another feed reader. Sorry I don't have any free suggestions. I like the widget box one enough to pay the $3 a month to have it without ads.

    There is a setting in the widget to show excerpts , date, author info, or just titles. You can set that to display more. What ever widget you use, you will have to set it to display excerpts if it has a chance of displaying images.
