Mirroring another WordPress blog in a WordPress MU site?
Friday, January 9th, 2009Anyone out there have a great way to mirror an existing blog into a WordPress MU site?
Here’s the deal… with our recent acquisition of VoiceObjects, we now have a developer blog hosted on the VoiceObjects site and for a variety of reasons we’d like to continue to have it hosted there on the VO site. It’s well-integrated with the rest of the site… the authors are all set up to publish to it… etc, etc. I don’t want to move it to our WPMU site here. Maybe someday that will make sense… but not right now.
What I would like to do now, though, is to mirror the content over into this blog site. Essentially create another blog here and just have posts from there appear here. This helps promote VoiceObjects activities within the larger realm of Voxeo activities, plus the VO posts then also go out through our Twitter and FriendFeed streams.
In looking around the web, I have seen a lot of WordPress plugins that will let you import a blog if you are migrating an existing blog over into WordPress or WordPress MU… but so far the only one that seems to let me mirror a site is the SmartRSS plugin. Another one, FeedList, looks close, but without actually installing it I can’t tell if this will mirror content into a main blog area – or if it is more designed for sidebar widgets. This WordPress forum post shows that others are looking for similar solutions.
Any suggestions? Can any of you recommend a plugin to mirror one blog in a WordPress / WordPress MU site?
Thanks in advance. Any advice would be greatly appreciated – and I’ll definitely update this blog as I come up with a solution.
UPDATE – Shortly after I posted this, Olle Johansson suggested I check out WP-o-Matic which does indeed look like it will do the trick! (Thanks, Olle!)
