  Is there a way to add a RSS feed and having it showing up as posts rather than using a widget?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  No and the reason why can be clearly stated. Allowing auto-posting from RSS feeds to blog pages and/or posts would amount to wordpress.com providing us all with the favorite tool of blog scraping content thieves and spammers.

  OK.. similar question.. I made a bad decision several years back to begin my blog on myspace.. I have many readers there and don’t want to give i up.. that said, Myspace absolutly sucks as a blogging platform. I’m a big WordPress fan.. and would love to automatically duplicate my myspace posts in my blog on wordress.com. Is there any way to do that ? If not.. can I write something ?

  Duplicate content is problematic http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2008/09/demystifying-duplicate-content-penalty.html

  You can always write original content here and bring it into your Myspace. That’s quite normal and easy. Myspace has an RSS import thingy for blogs that avoids the duplication issue above, same as Facebook does.

  I never go near myspace blogs so thanks for pointing that the reverse is the better way to go. :)
