Display posts from blog site on team site

Question

Using SharePoint Online...

I want to display posts from a blog subsite on my top level site. I have added a Content Query web part, and managed to get the links to the blog posts to display, but I really want the whole content of each blog post. Title, author, date, image, text etc.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

In order to achieve that I would rather go for

• Search Web Part as is more flexible in the XSLT approach - the downside (pre-requirement) is that search must be configured - see here examples http://www.notjustsharepoint.com/Home/tabid/58/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/14/Cross-Site-Collection-Roll-Up-Web-Part.aspx or http://www.glynblogs.com/2010/08/creating-a-latest-blog-posts-web-part.html
• Update the ItemStyle.xslt on the CQWP to include a custom slots (it can get really tricky) - see here http://erikswenson.blogspot.ch/2010/03/sharepoint-2010-content-query-for-blog.html or http://sympmarc.com/2009/09/10/roll-up-blog-posts-in-a-site-collection/
