Import RSS into blog

Recommended Posts

Hi there,

Is there a way to have an RSS feed generated by a third party blog (that I own and control) be imported to auto-populate a SS blog?

The limits on the RSS feed from SS, such as only the last 20 posts, and the removal of the 'blog by email' function, make this necessary.

If not, is the only option to iframe that third party blog in a page here, or link to the third party page and try to match the design as closely as possible? Both are very messy.

Thanks.

This is the rss feed I use. https://follow.it/ Free and works great with my Squarespace blog.  I have a couple of Follow My Stories buttons on my site, which take you here:

I do not see a way to get an external RSS feed to show up in SS.  

RSS block only shows SS content, embed says it found page but nothing shows anyway.

How did you get yours to work?  Why is everything so difficult in SS, even the things that should be easy?  I switched over a few months ago and now wondering if this was a mistake.
