  Hi all,

  So for now I have a separate website and blog, until i can learn how to make my blog look like my website!

  But, in the meantime is there a widget that i can add onto my website, which will feed say the latest comment from my blog on wordpress…?

  thanks in advance

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

  anzagi – WordPress.com blog widgets only work on wordpress.com blogs. You can probably make a widget at a place like widgetbox that you could use on your website, but most of them use javascript or flash and can’t be used on your wordpress.com blog.

  Yeah, if you go to Widgetbox, you can turn your RSS feed or Comments feed into a widget that you can post on your website.

  Nobody here, because nobody here can automatically feed content from another site onto a Wp.com blog; we can only use the RSS widget to show titles.

  anzagi:

  I think I understand your question and my have a partial solution for you. Let me restate:
  You have a website: (forexample.com) and you have a wordpress blog: http://www.solatium.wordpress.com. You want the latest post from your wordpress.com blog to appear on a page on your website.
  If this is the issue, read on.
  1) The rss feed name of your blog is http://www.solatium.wordpress.com/feed
  2) Learn how to put an RSS feed on your website. This link provides a great tutorial. http://budurl.com/rss
  3) Select one of the recommended tools. When the tool asks for your rss feed, see #1 above.
  This is not an elegant solution, but provided me a quick way to solve the same problem for a blog and website I manage (www.jeffreyhare.com; jeffreyhare.wordpress.com)
  Good luck.

  Actually, the address for your feed is http://solatium.wordpress.com/feed as the www. bit is extraneous.

  I have used ‘feedburner’ for a different blog but I think it can be used for any feed if you know the feed address – in fact I am here to make sure I can do the same with a WordPress blog.

  Once you have your feedburner account you can use ‘buzzboost’ to get your feed into a format that you want to add to you website.

  I couldn’t get the budurl link to work.
