  I have two wordpress blogs and would like to have a post appear the same on both blogs. I don’t want to have to retype the whole post. Is this possible?
  Blog url: http://samanthaknapp.wordpress.com/

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I believe if you use the “reblog” feature, you can post, then re-post to your other blog.
  Good luck!

  @samanthaknapp
  If you don’t give a hangnail about pagerank or search engine positioning then don’t read what follows:

  Yes, you can do this but are sure you want to? Are you aware of Google’s position when it comes to duplicate content? Are you ware of how that can harm the positioning of the blog with the original copy of the post in it when it comes to search engine rankings? Do you know that Google’s Panda algorithm is aimed at detecting duplicating content across domains? http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=66359

  P.S. What I would do in the second blog is quote part of the original post found in the first blog and link back to it.

  @timethief, I like that solution.
