  How can I use my external (non wordpress.com) RSS feeds to populate the blog on my wordpress.com site?

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

  You cannot make the external RSS content (posts, images etc) take main stage on your WordPress.com blog.

  External RSS content can only be part of sidebar or footer ( depends on your theme) via RSS Widget.

  Automated posting to a WordPress.com blog is grounds for suspension. WP.com is not an aggregator. It’s a blogging platform. If you wish to create original blog content here and push it to other sites via RSS that’s permitted. Not the other way around.

  You will both want to read this support doc I link to below. Note that as raincoaster indicated above WordPress.COM deliberately chooses not to provide us with blog scraping tools that enable is to fill post and pages with content from RSS Feeds.
