RSS feeds on separate page?
-
I can put an RSS feed widget in the widget area. How do I put that widget on a separate page? I would like to feed my several blogs on wordpress.com with identical pages of information about Quakerism. It seems that doing this with an RSS feed to a separate page would be the simplest, but perhaps there is another way?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The “feature” you want is the primary tool used by blog scrapers who steal blog content and fill their splogs with it and that’s why it’s not available here. We cannot have wordpress.com blogs full of content pulled from other sites by RSS feeds being passed off as real blogs. WordPress.com is a blogging platform and supports those who create unique, original content. It’s not an aggregation platform.

Okay. Fine. What about (original) content from within the same blog? Just as a matter of organizing the content.
For example, blog material all within the same blog might relate to numerous committees. Sure, categories and tags can be used to call up related posts under such categories and tags. But what if I would like to have a page with static content about a committee’s work then followed by the the blog feed? Or I want the category listing to appear in the header menu?
I suppose the best we can do is to have a sticky-post in the blog that’s always at the top of the feed? … and just have to rely on category links in the widgets?

It’s not possible to place the RSS widgets anywhere other than in the sidebar of our themes at wordpress.com.

You can create a page and provide a link to the relevant feed on the page.
Or I want the category listing to appear in the header menu?
There’s a “trick” that’s currently working on some themes to achieve this. As it’s unintended we do not know if this ability will remain or will be removed in the future. See > http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/03/26/page-tabs-as-external-links/
This is the format for a category link:

timethief: thanks for your attention to this. I think I understand the reasoning behind the restriction.
We are thinking about creating roughly 50 blogs, one for each Quaker Meeting and major committee. There is a great deal of archival and new information coming from these sources. The Baltimore Yearly Meeting web site would then be an RSS aggregator of all these WordPress blogs.
