Get blog posts from other sites
Hi,
How can I get blog posts automatically from other sites on my umbraco website? i've already designed how I want my blog posts to appear on the website, but I want to get the content for those blog posts from other sites. Is it possible? how do I go about doing this?
Also how can I get RSS feeds from other websites?
Thanks

Webservices can be used to pull data between umbraco installations, indeed there are some that can be enabled straight out of the box.
For external xml/rss there is umbraco.library.GetXmlDocumentByUrl

(or if you need to have a little more control you can build your own macro based on a usercontrol that levearges xml scraping from the .net framework)
