    Hi,

    I was wondering if it is possible and allowed to use RSS feed from other site into my site. For example, I have a Xbox 360 games section, and I can use IGN's RSS to post new games into my Xbox 360 section. If yes, please advice me what plugin should I use and how .

    Thanks

    Yes you are allowed to, rss readers are allowed to pull the feed so that means you can also. Although you should probably say the source of the feed.

    You may want to look at this

    Yes, however you need to ensure you are linking back to the Source, and not trying to pass the content off as your own.
