# Importing external posts automatically

 * I have the following problem and I was wondering whether there was a solution
   to solve it (perhaps a plugin?).
 * Our organisation has a group blog. Some of our members also have personal blogs
   using a variety of different services (mostly WordPress.com and Blogger.com).
 * I would like to set it up so that when they post something to their personal 
   blog, it also gets posted on our group club – ideally the entire post or, if 
   not, something a long the lines of “<name> has written a new post entitled <title
   >, go check it out <link>” gets posted.
 * I assume that all we need to do is monitor the rss feeds with some kind of cron
   job. This makes me think that perhaps there’s already a solution.
 * Any suggestions?
 * (yes, our members are too lazy/technically illiterate to post in both places 
   🙂 )

 * I guess this isn’t possible then? 🙂

 * Actually there is away I would check with plug-ins which will take feed posts
   and then post them on your blog. I can’t remember the one I used a while back
   for a similar reason but try searching feed to post.

 * Thanks for the suggestion. Works pretty well despite only officially supporting
   up to WP v2.3
