Share content between Wordpress sites in a network? - wordpress

I have five different websites set up using Wordpress 3.0 Multisite. They each contain one page in common, which is a list of places. Each place is represented by a post in a specific category. What I want is that when I publish a new post in this specific category on one blog, it will add that post to all the other websites as well. Alternatively, all websites pull their information from one single blog.
I don't really care how this is done, as long as I don't have to type in the same thing five times :/

RSS: FeedWordPress | simple and flexible Atom/RSS syndication for WordPress or WordPress › SimplePie Plugin for WordPress or Developer's Guide - Google AJAX Feed API - Google Code

Multipost MU has a nice interface, and can be set to publish to all sites by default.

There is a plugin - Diamond Multisite Widgets - that allows you to push new posts to other sites in a multisite network.

Embedding WordPress blog to an existing website

I have an existing website and I want to know how to embed a WordPress blog to the website, can someone help me out, please?
Depending on the way the other website was built, there's an array of possibilities. However, the path of least resistance (read: zero extra effort) is to install Wordpress on a subdomain (i.e. blog.yoursite.com).
If I misunderstood, and you mean literally displaying one blog post on the other website, you can use the WordPress API or the RSS feed.

How to link 2 wordpress websites

Is there any way or pluggin to link 2 wordpress websites together which means when i publish a post in the first site, the second one publish the same post automatically.
notice that 2 sites on the same host.
thanks in advance.
I have looked into this few months ago for a project which one of the requirements was to automatically duplicate posts between Wordpress sites, short answer is yes, but out of the box you can't.
Long answer:
Yes, you can have three different scenarios:
You can clone posts manually through different blogs sitting in a multi-site installation using the Multisite Post Duplicator plugin, this however requires you to move both websites within a single installation of wordpress and make them run into multi-site mode. Also, you will need to manually duplicate them.
You can install on the second website a WPAuto plugin (there are few options out there, so I am not going to link every single one) which allows you to import automatically some RSS feeds into your second website. However RSS feeds must be enabled on the first website to make these plugin fetch correctly the content, on top of that the content won't be created instantly but it will be fetched after a certain amount of time, (5/10 mins interval, maybe more, according to the plugin and host settings)
You can develop something custom, you can open up a REST endpoint on the second website and through the Wordpress APIs create programmatically a new post for each request received. On the First website you need to hook your Publish post function to send the data across to the second website to process it. As far as I am aware there are no plugins which does that so you'll have to do something on your own, requires a bit of time and you need to keep in considerations all the security implications in doing that.
Needless to say that I strongly hope you have access to both websites and the content you are trying to clone is yours or you have been authorized to republish it from the original author.

Wordpress: Using it as a news CMS only?

I tried to search everywhere for an answer to my question but I still doesn't understand how Wordpress fully work.
I would like to use Wordpress as my news system CMS only. This means, I do not wish to set up my page layout via the Wordpress theme interface. If you guys know another news CMS called CuteNews, I want my Wordpress to operate pretty much like CuteNews.
How can I put Wordpress post entries into my website that uses my own layout (and not using the theme interface in Wordpress).
Thanks!

I have used this as a starting point for my detached wordpress site and it's working perfect.
You can actually! Without converting it to a theme. It works for me as I don't do wordpress themes but I use WP to power the back-end of my websites. I utilize WP's CMS feature.
here's a checklist of what you can possibly do to your website.
Your website design (html/css)
Install Wordpress on your server, or locally.
Download Blank WP Template, set this as your default template for your wordpress site.
Edit the Theme's CSS/Header/Footer according to your website design while keeping essential WP codes provided in the template.
Set your News Page as the Blog Entry in WP Dashboard.
If you want some news preview, such as titles to appear somewhere on your site like homepage, you can either call it thru PHP code available on the net or install a plugin in WP.
Items listed above maybe broad, but that's a starting point, as you can research on the net for detailed information on how to go about your website with wordpress CMS.
Best of Luck!

Blog headers from Wordpress in Drupal 7 block

We have a website on Drupal 7 and a separate blog running on Wordpress. Im curious if it's possible to create a block that will show headers from the blog and will link to blog entries. Moreover, it should automatically update itself once new blog entry is added.
Please advise if this functionality is achievable.
I am sure that your Wordpress blog can provide one or more RSS feeds of its content. In the Drupal site you can activate the Aggregator module (it's in core) and extract content from those feeds. There is also a bunch of other contrib modules that extend (or replace) that functionaliity.

Easily incorporate blog feed into site

I built a site for a client not too long ago and built it fairly standard. Now she has a Wordpress blog and would like an area on the main site to have links to the most recent blog posts. Is there an easy way for me to pull a list of the most recent posts into this content area without having to chop the page up into a Wordpress template?
You want to place the WP feed on the static site? Maybe Developer's Guide - Google AJAX Feed API - Google Code

I have a WordPress blog integrated into my hand-coded site. I use SimplePie to display my latest posts on my website's home page. I wrote a blog post about how to do this - Displaying WordPress posts on a separate web page. Hopefully that will work for you as well. Let me know if you need more information or help.
