Display Blog as WebPart in Sharepoint 2010?

I think the way around then is either create your own RSS style web that can do authenticated access to the RSS XML feed using a service account - this then requires nothing to be installed or changed on the 'source' server.

I am not sure, I understand you totally. What I basically want is to show the top 5 items of a SP blog in my SP home page as a web part. I have both the approach of using XMLWebPart to RSS and using Silverlight to read it.

Even if I try to acess it from a external site (asp. Net, console app etc) it given "Unauthorized Access" error. – Bhaskar Jul 8 at 10:30 You're going to have to clarify your question - at least two people have read it and are not sure what your asking "What I want is what I want" isn't really making it any clearer.

I have found three ways to displaying this: 1) I user use a Content Query Webpart to pull out the data from a Sharepoint Blog and make an setting to show only the top 5 items. 2) I could use XML Viewer webpart to pull the RSS feed of the blog and use a XSL Transformation to display the top 5 items. 3) I could use a Silverlight Webpart to host a Silverlight application which will read the RSS and display the data likewise.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
