   If this topic has been addressed using maybe more appropriate wording than I did, please point me in the right direction. I'm sure you hate redundancy.

   Like many online magazines, I aspire to be like, I am trying to figure out how to separate my MAIN blog site with excerpts from my subdomain sites into different sections. (events.myblogsite.com, news.myblogsite.com).

   I have successfully installed multisite and have created the above sites. What I do want is to be able to put the excerpts of the subdomain blogs on my main site so I can place them in different sections and be able to manipulate the loop just like I do with the blogs on my main site..
   For example:

   MAIN SITE (myblogsite.com)
   
   <section id= main_site_blogs>
   my main blog loop excerpts
   </section>
   
   <section id=News>
   excerpts from news.myblogsite.com (with "count" ability)
   </section>
   
   <section id=Events>
   excerpts from events.myblogsite.com (with "count" ability)
   </section>
   
   end of MAIN SITE

   any help will be greatly appreciated family.

   Did some more digging and found the sitewide tag plugin. Used it and all is well but still looking for a way to distinguish between the origin of the blog posts to I can place the appropriate excerpt into the relative section.

   Right now I still have the standard loop on my main site in one section:

   <?php query_posts("posts_per_page=5"); ?>
       <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
       <div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
   		<p><?php the_date(); ?></p>
   			<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
   				<h5><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h5>
   	 			<p><?php echo excerpt(0);?></p>

   as always, any help will be greatly appreciated.

   This is the plugin for those wondering: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-sitewide-tags/

   You should be able to write a filter that sends the site ID somehow, though I don't know off the top of my head.
