• Is there a plugin or can one be made that would allow me to setup an RSS feed such as RSS equalizer or something similar, and place it in WP? Or is there a way to make it part of the template so it would have a permanent place at the top, or bottom?

    Thanks,

    Debbie

  • If you mean pull another site’s feed in as a sidebar list (or list in other location), CG-Feedread can do that. I’m just working out the WP1.5 compatability kinks right now.

    If that’s not what you’re looking for, describe in more detail.

    Will CG-Feedread be able to collect feeds from multiple sources and then sort them chronologically? For example, can I specify three different feeds and then sort the combined list to display only the latest five posts?

    It allows you to specify an array of feed urls, and the max # of entries to pull from each feed, and then assuming they all have some kind of proper timestamp it’ll sort them into one. though, of course, I just noticed the version I’m editing seems to be an OLD copy… I’ll have to find the newer code for the 1.5-compatible release coming up… 😉

    So you’re saying that if all posts it pulls have a proper timestamp, it’ll sort them into one list and will sort them accordingly? How likely is it that all the posts will have a proper timestamp if all feeds are based off either WordPress or MT (or is it a server issue?) Thanks again.

    oh, if that wasn’t clear: yes, it should. 😉

    The easiest way to do this is using service from
    http://www.bigbold.com/rssdigest/

    Just enter ther feed and try it…No complicated programming, no ads…

    I use it on my weblog at http://www.jalansutera.com

    Actually, CG-FeedRead is really simple to use and drops right in. The code is just what parameters you want. It works great for sidebars, multi-feeds (the auto-date-inteleaved stuff mentioned above), and is easy to use for a ‘news page’ that looks like it’s part of WP (see http://www.realtechnews.com/blog/rtnews.php for a news page I helped work up using out-of-the-box CG-FeedRead).

    Might just be me, but I prefer to have my feeds going through my site, not someone else’s. 😉
