I have two WP installs running on separate servers. I want to connect to and display posts from one from the other. What is the best way to do this? I would like to use all the template tags available for templating the posts from the remote blog.

There are a bunch of Syndication plugins that will do what you're looking for.
Have a look at the link, it sounds like you want something that will pull feeds from one blog and post 'em.

Posted 2 years ago #No, that's not what I'm looking for. I don't want to duplicate the posts. I want to display the posts based on the tags (UTW) that are associated with them. I am searching these posts' tags remotely and retrieving the posts' IDs. With the IDs, I would like to pull the posts from the remote blog using get_post(). Obviously, this won't work, though, because get_post() is designed specifically to retrieve posts from the local blog.

use XML-RPC. ;)

I just pulled the posts out directly from the database with customized SQL queries--without using the WP API.
