Hi I don’t know if there is such a thing but thought I would check any how. Is there any way of getting automatic News and weather updates to my blog so that I don’t have to go and manually add them in everyday? http://dubaixpat.wordpress.com/dubai-news/
So that basicly it all comes in looking a bit like what have added in there. Over sly a little better.looking lol.Thanks

Hi thanks for reply. But what I mean is there any way to get automatic News updates on the Main page? e.g http://dubaixpat.wordpress.com/dubai-news/ I have pointed out the section which I mean. Thanks sorry for misunderstanding.
Thanks

There are no tools provided for autoposting content into posts or pages on free hosted WordPress.com blogs. Widgets on our free hosted blogs will operate only in sidebar or footer areas provided for widgets.

Hi timethief thanks for reply so if I go pro does that mean will be able to do this? If so where can I get the upgrade? Thanks A lot

No – there is no upgrade for a blog hosted on WordPress.COM that allows sticking a news or RSS feed into a Page or Post – that is a favorite technique of Splogs (automated spam blogs) so it is not allowed here – the feed in the sidebar / footer is all you can to

No going Pro changes nothing. Posts and Pages cannot be auto-filled with content.
Automated blogs: Blogs that are generated by computers, including randomly generated blogs, blogs that re-publish press releases, marketing material, search engine results, link dumps or any other mass-produced content. http://en.wordpress.com/types-of-blogs/
Going pro simply means you are purchasing a bundle of specific upgrade options and purchasing a domain and domain mapping changes nothing.
Important Notes Before Upgrading
Same Rules Apply – The Domain Mapping Upgrade does not enable the permission to use advertising, any kind of prohibited code, or upload additional themes or plugins. With the upgrade, your blog will still be hosted here at WordPress.com, which means that you will not have FTP access to your files and you will still be required to abide by our Terms of Service. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/#important-notes-before-upgradingThough no widgets can be installed in Posts or Pages, if you can locate a Flash widget for sidebar or widget footer areas that does what you want it may be possible to translate the code into a gigya shortcode.
