RSS Syndication

One of the things I like about Wordpress is the amount of plugins that have been written for it. Although I love Movabletype and use it for most of my sites, I do have two blogs running on WP and am currently using two different RSS aggregators that pull in feeds and publish them as posts. On one site I am only pulling in mine from my own sites and on my HTPC/Home Automation site I am pulling in news feeds from related sites.

Pretty cool. I can only wish that someone would write something like that for MT. I have tried Reblog and it doesn't work worth a crap with MT4 and I also downloaded and tried Refeed, which doesn't work at all. I have tried to get a bit of support and none at all was forthcoming from the plugin author, and the know-it-all asses on the MT forums were no help either. Basically if you don't know what you are doing you are = to a dumbass. Thanks, guys!

One thing I had considered doing was to use Twitterfeed and the MT-twitter plugin to pull in headlines and a link and then just post those. That way the original content would be on the owner's site and I would just be linking to them. I may look into that tomorrow or most likely Friday.
