Is there any way to add RSS feeds to Wordpress itself, and have Wordpress merge your posts with the ones from the RSS feed and display them as if they were posts on the blog itself?
More importantly, the external feeds must be present in the final RSS feed provided by Wordpress.
Ideally, I would like to setup a category in Wordpress, define a URL, and have that category driven by the external RSS feed.

Here is a tutorial i wrote for this exact thing on one of my project : http://www.script-tutorials.com/importing-multiple-rss-feeds-using-newswidget-jquery/
Mainly its a multiple site's rss mixer/combiner. and it can be used as your idea by adding your site's rss in it as well. you can display post excerpts order by date of publishing etc.

I was wondering if anyone knows how we would go about pulling some kind of Wordpress feed to a html site? It's a syndicated process where the parent site will feed into multiple subdomains. We want to customize which categories and products are displayed on each subdomain. We could use MU wordpress with some sort of cron job plugin, but we were looking to try and make it more lightweight using an html site instead. Alternative to this could be Iframes, but we feed that that's a little limited.
Does anyone know how we'd do this? We want to be able to pull a feed from a wordpress site, and display on it on an html site.
Thanks
You can use WP REST API for this or could use RSS XML Feeds
I have done this using REST API and is a far easier and convenient solution that RSS XML Feeds
I have 3 WordPress sites. I want to be able to add posts to one of the sites, and show some of the posts on the other two based on their categories.
E.g. site one has all posts,
site two shows posts from site one with category 'site2'
Easiest thing to do is use RSS. See FeedWordPress | simple and flexible Atom/RSS syndication for WordPress and Developer's Guide - Google AJAX Feed API - Google Code and Magpie RSS - PHP RSS Parser for different ways to implement RSS feeds as links or import posts themselves.
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.
How can I submit an RSS Feed automatically to a list of RSS Feeds directory?
You'd probably be better off by using an existing service, such as Ping-o-matic. Wordpress also lists several other XML-RPC ping services in their Codex.
I have a page in wordpress where I want to embed a player of some sorts that can take the first 3-5 items from a podcast xml feed and embed them in a player with a playlist. Preferable if the title and description can be shown as well.
There is most likely plugins or scripts that does this but I just can't seem to find any. A hint for such a plugin or php script would be lovely.
Update: I found http://www.magicparser.com and used it to parse the feed
