Displaying Friends’ RSS Feeds in my Dashboard
Finally, after about an hour of hair-pulling and screaming, WordPress is doing what I’ve wanted it to do: display my friends’ feeds in the dashboard. I ran into a problem the first time around and blamed it all on Google Reader, but it turned out that I was the one at fault for not clearing up my private data.
Really, how dumb can I possibly get?
Obviously, this “technique” won’t be able to display all the feed items, especially if you’re like me who’s subscribed to more than a hundred blogs and news sites. Still, it’s a bit convenient and spiffy, if only to find out the freshest blog posts in all the blogs I frequent.
Alternatively, you can use the one “reserved” for the WordPress Development Blog feed.
And to tell you the truth, I used to tinker with the core files just to do this.
I know, I really am such a loser.
PS: I’m still in the process of re-subscribing to other blogs, so pardon if it seems like I’ve forgotten yours. ![]()

Wow, I am so out of it. I didn’t even get what the problem was and how you solved it. XD And I’ve yet to d/l an aggregator so I still go to blogs manually. I feel like a dinosaur.
Yeah, I don’t see my blog there. =P
@ Ann - Why not use Google Reader?
kayo po ba nag-update ng wp ko?? kung oo, maraming salamat po dahil matagal ko nang gustong mag-update kaso ang bagal ng computer ko. salamat ng marami.
tungkol sa Feeds mo, wala akong masabi hindi ko naman naiintindihan yang google reader.
ingat po. salamat
I didn’t even know you could do with WP.
That being said, I use bloglines but I’ve yet to subscribe to all the blogs I read. I keep forgetting to. Oops.
I find your way nifty though.
I nice productivity boost.
Hehe, like Mihoriel, I didn’t know that you could do that with WP! Oh well, I don’t even use Feeds. =P
Yay you! I mean, I didn’t even know that was possible!
i don’t see my blog there either. LOL

I’m so glad you are back. I thought you totally abandoned your blog.
oh wow, i wanna know how to do that! xD
Cool!! I didn’t really think about subscribing to my friends’ feeds on my dashboard since I subscribe using a startpage aggregator. But that’s definitely a good idea for those who don’t use online readers or startpage aggregators.
