How To: Adding an External RSS Feed to Your WordPress Blog Posted: 12 Dec 2008 02:00 AM CST Have you ever wanted to add an external RSS feed to your WordPress blog?  This is a great way to promote one of your other blogs (if it is in a similar niche) on a more popular site you run. Most of you will probably remember that about a month ago we finally got around to launching our WordPress Forums, which has an RSS feed associated with it.   In order to cross-promote our forums on this site, I wanted to display our most recent forum posts in the sidebar here at WordPress Hacks.
