# RSS question (maybe)

 * I’m starting up a state organization website using WordPress and then many small
   county chapter websites also using WordPress. I wanted to have a spot in the 
   sidebar or something that is able to show “County Updates”. Basically, if a county
   website updates their WordPress, I’d like to have the State website just link
   to that new post.
 * Is this doable with RSS or something?

 * I grabbed the RSS aggregator from the Dashboard and, with the help of [another topic in this support forum](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/26536?replies=6)(
   thanks for telling me about that `require_once` business), here you go:
    ` <?
   php require_once (ABSPATH . WPINC . '/rss-functions.php');
 * // change this to whatever feed you want displayed
    $rss = @fetch_rss('[http://planet.wordpress.org/feed/&#39](http://planet.wordpress.org/feed/&#39););
 *  if ( isset($rss->items) && 0 != count($rss->items) ) {
 * // change this to whatever you want it titled
    ?> <h3><?php _e('Other WordPress
   News'); ?> <a href="[http://planet.wordpress.org/">&lt](http://planet.wordpress.org/">&lt);?
   php _e('more'); ?> &raquo;</a></h3>
 * <ul>
    <?php // change the number "20" to the number of items you want displayed
   $rss->items = array_slice($rss->items, 0, 20);
 * foreach ($rss->items as $item ) {
    ?> <li><a href='<?php echo wp_filter_kses(
   $item['link']); ?>'><?php echo wp_specialchars($item['title']); ?></a></li> <?
   php } ?> </ul>
 * <?php
    } ?>
 * If you use something that will combine all of your various feeds into one ([http://feedjumbler.com/](http://feedjumbler.com/),
   [http://www.rssmix.com/](http://www.rssmix.com/), do a Google search for it),
   you should be pretty well set.
 * [Yet another post here on the forum](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/32092?replies=6)
   might provide even more answers.

 * you can also try CG-FeedRead, which has been discussed a bunch of late. Can do
   individual feeds, or a multifeed (intermixed by timestamps), single function 
   call. takes less effort than the code above (but less ‘customization’ and control..
   in the current release… 😉 ).

 * Cool, thanks for the quick reply guys. I’ll try it when I get that far into the
   project. 😀

 * I just tried this code again and there’s something missing. Here’s the [new code that works with 2.0](http://pastebin.ca/117998)…
   on a pastebin page because pasting code with link HTML in it is a gigantic problem
   on this forum. Ahhh!!
