Just to follow up, there is a Textpattern plugin called bit_rss that can use RSS feeds to bring in posts from other blogs. It’s what I’m using to solve this issue.
I’m doing that as well. 🙂 Thanks.
I did, but can’t find a way to do that in TXP.
Since there’s most likely not a good way of having WordPress automatically pick out the featured sentences for you–which means you’ll be doing that by hand–why not just enclose the particular sentence in an XHTML tag such as
<span class="pullquote">"Fancy sentence here"</span>
And then style it accordingly in the CSS?
