Thanks Scott!<br /><br />Note 1: Don't know what RSS and Atom are? Try this little video.<br />Note 2: It probably is a good idea to only import posts pertinent to Emerge. I am using a feed for posts in my blog which I tag as emerge. That way you wont get an entry about Tony Wilson, should I make one.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32193688-7470050710463538052?l=markzspace.blogspot.com'/></div>Mark van Harmelenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15839194710040346461noreply@blogger.com0
