Anyway, it looks like you and I are looking for the same thing. Display latest blog post in postbit using Magpie RSS - Page 3 - vBulletin.org Forum

kevcj @ vbulletin.org = ~kev~ @ vbulletinsetup.com One in the same.

I've tried to get it working here a time or two, but easily get distracted and have never had it finished up

The recent blog in postbit that I linked to is dead. I should have read the entire thread before I installed it. When a member uses quick reply, the reply is posted twice. Since there is no fix, I had to uninstall the mod.

I think the commercial version of magpie will post RSS and ATOM feeds to members postbit, but its around $65 US Dollars. Just to get those feeds working, I do not know if its worth that much money. Its not a "lot" of money, but that price is high for what it does. At least for my type of site anyway. For a webmaster forum, like here, or over on DP, it might be worth it. Right now I can not see paying $65 just to get a members rss or blogger feed showing up. Most of my members do not have a blogger account, much less their own site that can supply a rss feed.

Unless a website has a lot of geeks as members, I wonder if this type of mod is even needed? Right now I have around 1,800 active members (visiting every 30 days), with around 500 - 700 members visiting every 24 hours. Out of that much traffic I might have less then a dozen people that have a blog, or a site that can supply a rss or atom feed. This mod sounded like a good idea, but I can not spend $65, or hours of my time on a mod that less then 12 people might even use. Then there is the keyword "might" use. I have already spent 4 - 5 hours getting different feeds to work. At some point you just have to say "it aint worth it." But then again, how badly do I want my site to be different from other websites?

I tried another mod using carp but it doesn't seem to work with that too. I wonder how some of the forums have got it to work.

If anyone knows how to get the recent blog thing to work please share.

You're probably right in that most members would not use it, and I wouldn't currently pay $65 for that feature, but don't forget the "monkey see, monkey do" effect. Some members will see others with the latest blog post displayed and think "I should do that!"
