How can I pull the posts of one blogger(written on his wordpress blog) to my site without installing the wordpress on my site? What are requirements and limitations of doing that?
There are a couple ways to use wordpress as a CMS only, without actually using it as your site or to expose content for use on another site.
RSS feeds as noted in another answer is good for read-only access to posts. To interact with content you'll need another solution.
You can enable XML-RPC in wordpress and use a library like php xmlrpc to connect and pull post data. However, XML-RPC is limited out of the box and mostly geared towards publishing to wordpress, not pulling out stuff.
The most flexible solutions is a REST plugin for wordpress that expose your posts via restful API. Check out:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/json-api/
One limitation is you'll obvioiusly not have some of the wordpress-as-a-website-building-tool plugin functionality available on the non-wordpress site.
If it's WordPress you could just use the RSS Feed to syndicate content to your site?
To grab the content you want - http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Feeds
I believe that the plugin Wp RSS Multi importer should do the trick. It pulls out RSS feeds from the blog you want to syndicate into your own blog. You can get the plugin here http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-rss-multi-importer/. The problem could be if what you want is not a feed. I for example want content that looks like this http://bake.co.ke/pg/recent+blog+posts. I don't want to syndicate feeds but the real content from another website.
I have a WordPress blog and also a VBulletin forum in a subdomain. I want to add a new feature to my WordPress blog in order to give the ability to visitors to ask their questions directly from the blog, without going into the forum.
Is there any web API in the VBulletin to create a new thread? Or any plugin for WordPress to create a VBulletin post from WordPress?
Well you can post your blog posts from wordpress via the built-in RSS poster in your vBulletin admin cp
I currently am making a wordpress site where my customer can enter the title of a post and in my theme I want to translate the title of the post into Italian, but only the title, and I would like to do it in my theme. I tried using GTranslate, but my guess is that no longer works because Google now charges for that api.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
It's a shame Google Translate API is not free anymore but it's still the best I've used.
There are some free alternatives including Microsoft's translation service.

I have a wordpress multisite network and it has 6 blogs who's posts I want to extract and put into 6 different pages on a separate website (this separate website is not wordpress based but it is php based). Its kind of like integrating wordpress blog into my own website but it does'nt seem to work for wordpress MU blogs. I spent all morning searching the web on how to do this but have come up with nothing. Anyone have any idea on how I can achieve this?
Thanks
Easiest way to do it is with the free FishPig extension for Magento.

I use it on all of my sites and it's pretty easy.
You can get then get WordPress MU Integration from this extension:

If you are extracting posts from each site, then using feed would be an obvious option to go. just post fix the /feed to each blog main url to get posts. In your own site, you will get posts in XML format, you then can parse it with php simpleXML.
