Lexi RSS Feed inserts

I’m putting together a blog site that will form a hub for our different eCommerce sites. The thing is, two of the sites will be run on Wordpress, as well as well as the blog. Therefore, I was looking for a way of getting these site to talk to each other a little.

It looks like Lexi might do this. It allows me to put an RSS feed from one site right into the middle of another. To illustrate, I’ve added a couple of pages to this site that shows what I mean.

Please have a look at the Jokers Wild and ELPsych! pages and let me know what you think! For reference, the Lexi add on can be found here.

One point. I was running the Feedburner add on that converted all RSS feeds to the Feedburner address. It doesn’t work with Lexi. To be honest, I now wonder at the benefit of changing the feed address anyway. Since WP 2.5 the address has been standardised, so it seems a little redundant now.
