Combining Feeds

  • Just a hypothetical question, but say I have 2 blogs, Feed A is from Blog 1 and Feed B is from Blog 2, they are completely seperate feeds, what it the easiest way to combine them to make up Feed C?

    Is it even possible?

  • Check out the syndication aggregators out there. Plugin options:

    CG-Feedread is a well-supported one (and is more than just a WordPress plugin).

    That would be interesting. Is it possible? Yes, but the question to be asked: is it worth the effort to combine the feeds?

    You can certainly display Feed A then Feed B, but combining them into a single Feed C would be a whole lotta work.

    CG-FeedRead has a well-known feature called ‘MultiFeed’ which can output to html the entries from N feeds, interleaved by date (so timestamps had best be correct!).

    It also has an undisclosed feature, which I guess I’d call ‘ReFeed’, that >attempts< to formulate a simple RSS output feed from whatever it takes in. It’s a hack, not a full-featured RSS/Atom stream by any means, so wouldn’t be good for complex feeds, podcast streams, etc.. (I don’t think…). Admittedly, I coded it up initially late last year, and I haven’t touched it much since early this year, so I’ve no clue if it is currently working. ??

    I don’t know offhand of other systems that will draw from multiple feeds and output a combined feed (which was why I built the feature originally), but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist!
