what's the best plugin for these feeds http://blog.outer-court.com/rss.xml http://googleblog.blogspot.com/atom.xml bascily , I want to make 2 categories for each of them. And have it so they both auto post in their own category. I want to do this so they don't go on the front page of my blog.
Without a seperate plugin or whatever all posts from any category show on your main page. Either way FeedWordPress will pull in the feeds like you want. Dunno what to suggest on keeping them away from the index.
No it won't and I'd guess that it would help the rankings on the syndicated ones. The reason being is that google etc take the page as a whole into consideration when looking at duplicate content. If you have 5 of your posts and 5 syndicated ones from various sources your page as a whole is unique. Cheers.
