Just to be clear... one of the many differences between the core aggregator module and feedapi is that feedapi can make nodes out of content that comes in off an rss feed. Aggregator can not do that. On Thu, Dec 18, 2008 at 11:30 AM, Nicolas Borda <forums@ipwa.net> wrote:

I suppose that this can be done with RSS of other website.

Drupal has a feed aggregator in core, enable it in core (optional) modules.

Thanks Shai The plan is like only the blog owner links his blog feed to our Drupal website.This will helps the blog owner by posting the same blog to all websites he is having an account. We need to validate that the blog feed the user providing belongs to him through some logic. Any idea to validate or authenticate? I am also concerned more about the SEO issues which you brought up. Looking forward for further discussions. Thanks & Regards Vasanth Govind On Thu, Dec 18, 2008 at 10:01 PM, Shai Gluskin <shai@content2zero.com>wrote:

Vasanth,

Feedapi module is what you need:

http://drupal.org/project/feedapi

I've always wondered about two things about importing feed content in its entirety...

1. Are there ethical concerns? Does one need the permission of the content owner? 2. Are there SEO concerns. Doesn't Google punish sites that display material that is displayed elsewhere on the Internet. Wouldn't both source and copied locations be "punished" in this example.

I'm curious to hear your responses.
