  WordPress .com is a blogging platform for original content creation. It is not an aggregator platform so WordPress.com has not provided the ability to autopost content derived from RSS feeds into pages or post. WordPress.com has provided RSS feeds for use in sidebars only. See here . http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/rss-widget/

  Additionally, if you did get this working, it would subject your blog here to suspension.

  Hi and sorry for my english. I speak mostly spanish and french. English comes third on my teached language list (actually my german is a bit above, anyway :))
  ————————
  But I agree with Brewprints on the idea.

  Today, all sites especially blogging platforms and social networks ones are linking one with the other in more and more customizable forms and ways, mixing content.Look at all the “retweeting” possibilities we got under a post, as options.

  It would be nice rethinking the idea of “original content only” since the originality often comes from another source already. We can indeed post Youtube and Vimeo videos, Flickr images, Soundcloud tracks, all in a “new” post. Therefore we already re-post anyway.

  I wish you an excellent day,

  @Timethief,
  Hi,
  My post was partly a reply to your answer to Brewprints that I readed before writing it. I always read the complete conversation before comenting.
  My post is meant as a suggestion and as food for thought.
  Wishing you an excellent day,
  Marc
