Glow Blogs Plugin Spotlight: Syndication

Looking to bring together content from multiple blogs into one place? The Syndication Plugin on Glow Blogs makes it easy to gather and display posts from different sites – helping you create a hub for your class, department or school community.

What It Does

The Syndication Plugin allows you to aggregate posts from other blogs (including RSS feeds) across the internet and display them on your Glow Blog. This is especially useful when you:

  • Want to pull together class blogs into a main school blog
  • Are running department blogs and want a single view of key posts
  • Wish to showcase a range of pupil or staff blogs in one place

It works by letting you add RSS feeds from other blogs and then automatically bringing in posts based on your settings.

How to Use It

  1. Activate the Syndication Plugin in your Glow Blog’s dashboard.
  2. Go to the new Sites menu that appears in the sidebar.
  3. Create a Site Group – this is a collection of feeds you want to pull together.
  4. Add the RSS feed URL from each blog you want to include (for most Glow Blogs you can find this by adding /feed to the end of the URL).
  5. Adjust settings like post status, comment status, and tags.
  6. Enable syndication for your group – and your blog will start collecting posts.

Why It’s Useful in Schools

🔹 Create a whole-school hub from class blogs

🔹 Pull department blogs into one central space

🔹 Showcase pupil writing or department updates in one place

🔹 Reduce duplication – one audience, many voices
