Adding an external blog feed alongside native Drupal blogs?

Hi everyone,
I've been banging my head a little bit trying to get this sorted. Basically, I want members of my drupal site to have their own personal blogs and a section where they can read other members posts. This is obviously no problem if they're all using drupal blogs on my site.
However, many of the members already have their own blogs. It would be great if instead of submitting blog entries on my site, they could just add the url of their Blog feed and entries would automagically appear alongside other members entries.
Has anyone managed to do this? It would be good to see if you have!
Cheers
James

From what you describe
Hello, James,
From what you describe, this would be pretty strightforward -- use the feedapi to import the external feeds, and then create a view to display internal and external blogs on the same page.
