SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Is it possible to incorporate an RSS feed into our blogs?

Basically what I was wanting to do was syndicate my Mise-en-scene blog with the one here.

Is there a way to do this?

I'm not sure what you're asking. Can you spell it out for simple-minded folk like me? ;)

My blog has a button for an RSS feed, which basically let's you incorporate content into a web page.  If you go to my blog and look for the "Top Page" button above the pic this will take you to the main profile page.  If you scroll down and look at the box labled "Feeds" those are all RSS feeds I have incorporated into the page.

What an RSS feed does, essentially, is provide links to the latest news or information posted to a site.  Now an RSS feed probably isn't the best for what I want to do (which is have my blogs mirrored to the blog here, but I think that requires XML or something) but I thought it would be nice.

That way the blog here could get content semi-regularly.

I know what an RSS feed is, I just don't understand how you would like to use it. You can syndicate your blog here on another site by using the link attached to the XML button at the bottom of your blog page.

There really should be a :smacks forehead while looking embaressed: smiley.

I meant that what I want to do is have my posts to Mise-en-scene Crypt (my blog) appear here, at thePRGsite blog I apparently have.  But since all I have is an RSS feed to work with would it be possible to use that with the blog here?

So you want to display the RSS feed from YOUR regular blog with your blog here? As far as I know, that's not possible, since the the blog here only displays individual posts. Sorry.
