Not sure how to create this RSS functionality... (2 posts)

    I have several favorite websites that I would like to feed posts from using their RSS feeds (ex: Engadget and Gizmodo). My website is currently over at: seizethedigital.net

    I want to be able to place the RSS feeds in Random order within the body of the page (not in the sidebar) so that the Engadget and Gizmodo posts are mixed (and not all clumped by website). I would like the title of the post as well as a short intro paragraph to be listed with a link to the remainder paragraph to be fed from the RSS. Would I need to manually cut it and insert a "MORE" link to a new page with the full article? How does that work? Kind of like the gizmodo.com page.

    Your help and patience in this is greatly appreciated. Even if it is just to point me to a tutorial, that would be HUGE. There is so much information, I just don't know where to go.

    Many thanks.
    Kevin

    For fetching feeds yourself please see.
    http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/fetch_feed

    Also see the related link at the bottom of that page (it's key for understanding how to use the feed function).

    What you're asking, as far as i'm aware isn't available via plugin, so you'll have to write your own feed fetching code, although there are feed related plugins available if you wish to look.
