  Is it possible to fetch one entry (like fetching a feed) for use on a web site?

  Who holds the copyright on the material you intend to “fetch”?

  I do. I want to post to the blog and have the one entry displayed on my web site.

  Ahhh … It wouldn’t make much sense to have an rss feed for one entry. You can post a link on your website to the one entry on your blog. But I would simply post the entry on both sites and be done with it.

  I know I can do that, but it defeats the purpose of what I’m trying to do.

  I’m in a band, and I have a web site. We can access the blog from the road. We want to post an entry for each city we play in and preset the web page to fetch the entry to display on a web page for each city.

  Not possible?

  Not as far as we know.

  If you’ve got a bit of tech savvy, you could use iframes to display the blog on the front page of the website, but then ALL your blog posts would show up there. Best bet is to make a deal with someone either back home or on the road you trust with your passwords and get them to copy/paste it.

  OK, thank you. I might be able to pull off the iframe solution. Thanks so much for your prompt response.
