How Do I Add a Recent Post to My WordPress Footer From Another WordPress Blog?
The Wordpress content management system/blog engine is pre-configured to use Really Simple Syndication, which makes it easy for you to syndicate content between blogs and websites. The Wordpress system comes with an RSS widget by default, which means you can easily display a recent post from another Wordpress blog in your footer. The process only works if your theme has footer widgets. If your theme doesn't have a footer widget displayed in the widget panel, you will need to install another theme.
