   Hi all,

   I'm using the FeedWordpress plugin to pull RSS content from some other websites I write for. I don't import the full articles to my site http://www.thelongclimb.com but have them appear in the new articles list on the front page with links to the original source.

   Every article listed here says "Continue Reading >" to open the full article but I'd like these imported articles, all categorised as "imported" to instead say "Continue Reading at [websitename]" and then to open in a new window/tab when clicked.

   Does anybody know how this can be done please?

   With thanks

   Hi Mike,

   I believe you are referring to something similar to my site http://TheFinance.sg

   Check out my documentation here -> http://thewebsite101.blogspot.com/2012/01/step-by-step-guide-to-creating-new.html

   It's kind of old and I'm in the progress of updating it.

   Cool, thanks.

   Is there a way though not to import xxx words of the article but just have the original link say "Continue Reading at..." and open it in a new window for all syndicated stories?

   This will work as a fallback though :)

   Just ignore point 6) How to make feedwordpress retrieve only a short excerpt and not the entire post? Feedwordpress : truncate the article

   I think point 6 is irrelevant now since the current version has a new feature to limit the number of words.
