Display the Preview of Posts from your favorite blogs in your blog.

You have some favorite blogs of yours which u frequently visit . you can have updates from them and read the posts with your web readers like google reader , bloglines etc . which make use of Feeds as an input . But what if you want to display preview of some of the good blogs you like your readers to read and are in the same niche your blog is in. If you are a wordress user you can easily display the updates from your selected blogs in a page and you can give link to that page as “Recent updates from my blog circles” and there you have all the blogs listed with latest updates . The number of posts ,of course, you can control. Its just like public RSS aggregator and reader . but you may have serious copyright issue so i suggest you to display the preview of the posts and link to the respective posts .

For this purpose there are mainly two ways i have come across and are free and user friendly

1. Adam has written a Friends RSS Agregator program in PHP which u can download from his site or u can download it directly cliking here.

Example : A site using this script is here for your reference

2. Feed2js is another javascript program which aggregates the feeds from one RSS feed but u can embedd as many such feed2js code into your blog or site to display post preview from multiple RSS feeds. As feed2js also has option that u can host the javascript in your own server although they have freely provided their server for the Javascript file to run ( this saves your bandwidth..)

you can download feed2js from here or from their site

Example : you can see my blogspot blog where my updates from this blog are displayed using my feedburner feed I have created an @wiki page where you can also find my blog updates

3.For wordpress users things are very much easier due to plugins . For this purpose also there is a plugin called Feedlist Plugin you can take help in this matter from this blog

Example : WiiReign is fully automated

    Hi Hem,

    thanks for the link :) Glad you enjoyed the post. I’ve put a “blogging in the news” example on the same blog at http://facibus.com/onblogging/index.php/blogging-in-the-news/ - like I said, if you have a question about how to get this stuff up and running, just drop me a line.

    Best regards, Andrew Boyd
