If you are looking for just the recent posts from your blog network, and want to make that happen on your homepage, I recommend using the AHP Sitewide Recent Posts for WPMU.

It took me 2 seconds to install and works great out of the box and even supports gravatars. It is feature rich for those that want to tweak the defaults, but I’m using it straight and really love how it looks on my home page. Find the link below.

Thanks for this tutorial, I haven’t tried building it into the code of my template yet but what I did that got me up and running really quick was I just installed the sitewide feed plugin then put the feed address into the RSS Widget that come with wordpress. Then I was able to custimze different options between the two plug-ins. I did all this with no coding required which might help people more in the beginner stages.

Is there any example of a site on the WEB using this possibility ?

I ´d like to bring latest entries to the main blog (Preview of posts with text&pictures ?) and I now search for useful ideas/plugins.

Kind regards,

Andreas

I have to put spaces…. remove them:

“& a m p ; a m p ;”,”& a m p ;”

I’m not a PHP coder (I’m an ASP one) but if the intent of line 18 is to revert back “&” to it’s original status, I think the corret sequence to replace would be:
“&”,”&”

aaron,

What is the line on code on line 32? Is it missing a semi-colon maybe?

Hi,

Thanks for the great tutorial. I’m having trouble repeating this though. I’m rather new to php and I keep getting the error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in [...]/wp-content/themes/default/index.php on line 32

I’ve typed and retyped the code above and even tried pasting the code from blue-anvil directly into the index.php of two separate templates (including the default one). Is there something I’m doing wrong?

Yep, it’s a handy tip. Just to add to that, the sitewide feed plugin also has a sitewide comments feed. Do the same thing and PRESTO.

Great way to show comments to everyone and encourage more.

Edit: this is also what people mean when they say “parse the feed”.
