  Hi all,

  I run a news sharing website called Bighow.com. How can I make sure I can automatically update my WordPress blog with RSS feeds from bighow?
  Re: Like you do it with twitter, Facebook etc.

  You can’t really. What is available is the RSS widget which you can use if your site has an RSS feed.

  WordPress does not work as an aggregator. It’s a platform for original blogging. You might prefer Tumblr.

  @pramit,
  Re: Like you do it with twitter, Facebook etc.

  If I am right, you want to show updates from your news site in your wordpress.com blog.

  You can do so in the way thesacredpath has suggested. Or you can do it using Bloggybits, Vuvox Express, Springwidgets or Widgetbox.

  These are free programs that create Flash widgets that show updates from a feed automatically. You can choose if you want the widget to show images or not – or if you want it in a page/post/sidebar/footer.

  You can see working examples here:
  How to add a Tumblr feed in a wordpress.com blog

  Although I tested a Tumblr feed in that post, I have a feeling it will work for any feed.

  Why not try one out and see?

  psst: Embedit is not so cool because it doesn’t show updated content.
