Adding a custom RSS feed page
-
Yes that it´s true. But Google have that in consideration and if they pull a complete feed from a blog or site they are wasting time because it would not get indexed forever. You can put a watermark or a copyright mark advertising that that content is yours and this way the “parasitic blog scrapers” are in trouble.

We are already copint with blog scraping that is escalating at a horrific pace. Whole sites are dedicated to nothing but stealing all contents from blogs, including watermarked images. Please use the forum searchbox and type in some key words “blog scrapers”,
“plagarism”, “content theft”, DMCA, etc. I’m sure once you appreciate the scope of the problem you will understand where we are coming form. No flipping way – no how will I support this at wordpress.com.IMO those wordpress.com bloggers who want this ability can boogie on over to http://wordpres.org and download the free software and free applicable plugin. Quality hosting is inexpensive (I speak as a person who has hosted blogs as well) so they can hire a blog host for a month less that what they spend at Starbucks in a week.

Edit: I apologize for the poor one handed typing above. This is the corrected version below.
We wordpress.com bloggers are already copiny with blog scraping that is escalating at a horrific pace. Whole sites are dedicated to nothing but stealing all the contents from numerous blogs, including the watermarked images and the copyright notices.

There’s no flipping way and no how that will I support this proposed blog scraping tool being introduced at wordpress.com.IMO those wordpress.com bloggers who want this ability can boogie on over to http://wordpress.org and download the free software and free applicable plugin.

If i understand correctly (and i’m by no means a techie) I can’t have a page with feeds/exerpts of posts on….can I if they are from MY other wordpress blog?
I have two blogs under the same username and would like to have a page/post or something which pulls feed of posts I make on my other blog, so that if people visit one, they can just go to a page and up pops new posts that are on the other. Is there a way to do this?
If i update my second blog, I’d ideally like it to be automatically imported into the other blog/category or something.

For the first time, I’ve found the need to have an RSS feed on a page. I completely understand the reasons why they are not allowed, but I now understand why folks were asking for them. There are some legitimate uses of RSS feeds on pages and it’s a real shame that the blog scraper types have essentially ruined it for everyone else.
(And no, I’m not going to self-host just to have it.)

Try this! I’ve used it and it works great!
