@nolageek the external site integration is a plugin we’ve developed to allow entering and checking the blog RSS and selecting an avatar image for the blog. Then we aggregate the external content using SimplePie RSS. SimplePie makes this very easy. On the Latest Posts page for the network blogs, we use the multifeed aggreagation feature of SimplePie. Just throw an array of RSS feeds at it and it comes back with the content. SimplePie uses disk caching so it’s pretty zippy once the feeds are loaded.

Thanks for the feedback.
