Feed WordPress / syndication in blog hosted at wordpress.com

    I am a professor and want to use syndication with something like the Feed WordPress plug in to collect student blogs to my “motherblog.”

    I saw this used at VA Tech (http://www.olcs.lt.vt.edu/wordpress/WordPressDocumentation.html), but my institution does not have a custom install of WordPress. Is there a way I can get this functionality for use with my students through a blog on wordpress.com? I have blogged there personally for years (chrisosmond.com) and would like to set up a class blog there as well.

    Thank you for an awesome project, and your help.

    Hi Chris!

    I’m thinking the easiest way to implement something like this would be to use our RSS shortcode explained here:

    http://en.support.wordpress.com/rss-shortcode/

    Basically, you would put the following code into your post:

    [rss url=http://chrisosmond.com/feed]

    That should display the latest posts from ChrisOsmond.com. Does that make sense?

    In general, you can add “/feed” to most site URLs to get their RSS feed and display their latests posts. Could you give that a try?
