RSS Blogging = Complicated Shit
 

I thought blogging was supposed to make life simple.


I can get my blogs syndicated, but I just get a summary of the post from the original blog not the entire post with links.

Can anyone tell me how to do it? I just want to create posts on my original blog and have a secondary blog syndicate those posts. I can make it work, but I only get a summary of the original post, no images or links.

By the way, I am using wordpress.

He Fun For One,

Have you tried to use the Feed Wordpress plugin on the secondary blog? Im usually able to get a full feed.

Yes, that is what I was using. WEbcamcash had a great tutorial on how to use it. But when I try and syndicate my own blogs is when I have trouble. I guess it could be a problem with how the posts or original rss feed is set up, but it pretty simple stuff = pic, text and link etc..

What is the url to your site and/or feed?

In wordpress admin under options>reading select full text. This is for your own feed, nothing you can do about other feeds that are not full text.

feedwordpress can only pull what's in the feed, if it's decription only feeds, then you are out of luck.

Take a look at http://www.autobloggerpro.com we are planning some cool features for 2.5 that would make problems like yours a thing of the past.

YARGH!

I've been reading about autobloggerpro, but I'm sure I need that much. Basically, I want to create my own posts. Then I would like those post to be syndicated. I'm not sure I need everything that is offered on that program.

I use a plugin called 'feed list' - works like a dream.

Cool stuff Chio. I wanted to check out his feed to see what he is providing.

hey bloggers see my siggy

FunForOne,

Chio is saying that you can set your feed options in Wordress so that you can have full feeds or just descriptions.

auto bloggers tend to need more baby sitting than anything for me anyways :/

Do you have an example of a site using this? Id like to see it in action.

good resources in this thread

Ok, I tried to set it in the options, but with no success.

I appreciate the help, but I'm not getting it so far

I see you posted a message on the support board, i've replied, it was a little type error on your side:

At the moment i don't have icq anymore, the support forum is the best way you can get support.

:2 cents:

Write a temp article to rebuild the feed.
