 * Lets say i have 2 websites
    website 1, my blog website 2, a webservice/page that
   spits out my current address nicely formated in a DIV tag, depending on some 
   argument i passed in the URL..
 * is it possible to create a plugin/something that i can include in a post that
   will grab the data from my website 2 and display it in a POST on website 1 ?
 * for ex
 * My dog lives here <EMBED>[http://www.website2.com/someurl.aspx?Itemid=3</EMBED&gt](http://www.website2.com/someurl.aspx?Itemid=3</EMBED&gt);
 * ?

 * See this tutorial: [http://markjaquith.wordpress.com/2006/03/04/wp-tutorial-your-first-wp-plugin/](http://markjaquith.wordpress.com/2006/03/04/wp-tutorial-your-first-wp-plugin/)
 * In this tutorial, if you write the text “foo” the plugin converts this word to“
   bar”.
    In your plugin, you can search for your special tag, for example <embedpage
   page.html> (or any other syntax of your invention) and replace it by the HTML
   code returned by a PHP call to the page into the tag. You can use fileopen function
   in PHP to read the code from the website 2.

 * If you don’t mind iframes, you can add:
    <iframe name=”” src=”[http://www.thedomainname.com/p107776874&#8243](http://www.thedomainname.com/p107776874&#8243);
   width=”100%” height=”900px”></iframe>
 * Otherwise, install a plug-in like Include It. Then create a php file with : <?
   php include(“[http://www.thedomainname.com/p107776874&#8221](http://www.thedomainname.com/p107776874&#8221););?
   > in it. Save it to the blog’s root directory and call it from the page or post
   with [include file=nameofyourphpfile.php]
