Multiple wordpress blogs – summary on one page?

    I’m working on a new site that will host different podcast RSS feeds. Each show will have their own subdomain off the main URL and its own WP install. That part I understand.

    What I need to be able to do is to take the feed from each subdomain’s feed and have them all display on the main URL page in chronological order, also following the main URL’s CSS (each subdomain will have it’s own CSS – but will all be interchangeable) and to have it automatically update when someone posts something new on the subdomain WP.

    I hope this makes sense. Let me know if there’s anything I can clarify.

    Thanks!

    I’m using the Feedlist plugin — http://rawlinson.us/blog/?p=212 — to do something similar. I’m taking the feed from a secondary installation of WordPress (in a subdirectory) and also the feed from a separate blog, and presenting both in my sidebar.

    But those are separate lists, and I’m assuming you wanted one list?

    CSS isn’t a problem.

    Yes, I want one list. I’ll break it down:

    blog1.domain.com
    blog2.domain.com
    blog3.domain.com
    blog4.domain.com

    …and so on, all with separate wordpress installs.

    At the http://www.domain.com location (again, having its own WP install), I want to have summaries of blog1, blog2, blog3 and blog4’s posts on that main page, in chronological post order – but when one goes to the specific page of a blog (blog2 for instance), only the blog2 posts and site (WP install) will display.

    Have a look at FeedWordPress: http://projects.radgeek.com/feedwordpress/

    Some other Syndication plugins that will convert feeds to posts can be found here: http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Plugins/Syndication

    I’m working with the FeedWordPress plugin – however, how do I get the information to display like I want it to?

    The plugin – from what I can tell knowing absolutely nothing about PHP – will only display the syndicated feeds in the links sidebar.

    I want the feeds to display as main post entries on the main page, with each feed using a different category. So far, this isn’t doing that.

    Is there a PHP tweak that I can do to place the syndicated feeds in the main post entry and be displayed as a regular post?

    FYI – what I’m doing is setting up a podcasting network (much like Revision3) and the main page will be where you can see the latest releases from each show, then clicking on a show will take you to that show’s page (a subdomain of the main page, with its own WP install for RSS/feed purposes). That is why I need the syndicated feeds to show up as “real” posts on the feed page. All the content I’ll be syndicating is my own, not any other sites.

    Thanks again.
