    Hi fellow WP's,

    On my WP site I want to add some kind of RSS Reader that creates a blogpost with permalink for every new feeded news item.

    So al the headlines will be placed on a page, and/or widget.
    Every headline links to a unique blogpost (nice permalink) which contains the Headline and the first 50 words of the newsitem, ending with a 'read more' link to the news source. (and of course the blogfun of adding comments below etc.)

    Such as: (www) spacemakers (.nl) and (www) politieknieuws (.nl)

    Is there a WP specialist who can advise me a plugin for this?

    Hi Samboll,

    Do you have experience with this plugin? Half the users claim it's broken...

    I'm using it right now on a 3.0-beta install
    I've used it in the past on 2.9.x blogs

    wow, ok. And can you inform me about the difference and/or advise with WP-o-Matic plugin?

    Thx Samboll I, did install FeedWordpress.....and it looks great and complete...

    (ehm...by installing the RSS upgrade files mentioned in step 3 of the installation, they did mean also for the 2.9.1 WP and they mean to instal by replacing them with the files that are already? there in the wp-incude map?)

    Just to be sure I did the right thing...
