Follow-up on this topic: I’ve used the FeedWordPress plugin for a while. It’s excellent.

With administrator access you can associate RSS feeds with member blogs. It should be possible to make that functionality available to regular members so they can do it themselves -> voila, external blogs.

I’ll look into this in the next two weeks, when I’m upgrading to version 1.1.3 or 1.2. I’ll probably use crude custom code to add an input field on profile pages that allows members to enter an RSS feed directly into FeedWordPress’ database table.

To turn it into a more sophisticated plugin I’ll probably need some help.

Is anyone else still working on this? Any ideas, comments or suggestions?

I’ll report back when I’ve made some progress…
