You cannot put a feed directly into a post or page as that is what sploggers (spam bloggers) do and wordpress is very careful not to support sploggers.

Use the RSS feed widget and then if people want to read the posts they can click on the links or excerpt and go to that site.

There are links to related articles on that page, as well.

But essentially, if I subscribe to someone's rss feed, I can use a feed reader (there are all sorts, including Google Reader and some browser-specific feed readers, such as Brief for Firefox) to read their posts. Posts can either be pushed through the feed as entire articles or in summary form with just the first portion of the article showing. I subscribe to most blogs using an rss feed, and to a number of news outlets, as well.

I'm so new to this...... can you explain what an rss feed is?

It should be http://yourblognamehere.wordpress.com/feed for the rss feed.

You can use the rss feed provided by wordpress.com. The rss feed for posts is: http:\\yourblogname.wordpress.com\feed\ By subscribing to your feed, your readers can receive your blog posts through whatever rss feed reader they use.

You can also put an rss feed from another site in a widget in a sidebar or footer or other widget area of your wordpress.com. WordPress.com does not provide a way to feed an rss feed directly into a post or page, however, since that can be used by spam-bloggers and blog scrapers to "reblog" in an unacceptable way.

]]> mmadfan on "Re-blogging" http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/re-blogging#post-673004 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 22:18:27 +0000 mmadfan 673004@http://en.forums.wordpress.com/ If by "re-blog," you mean repost their posts, no. No. and No.

However, if you mean link to a blog post (or to the main blog), and perhaps quote a small section of the post, and then comment on that, including your own content, that's okay.

But re-blogging entire posts or entire blogs is not only a no-no, but it can get a blog shut down.
