Hi! I want to use a different blog to get posts. However, the blog only has RSS Feeds. So how would i set up the URL so I can simply plug it in for the Team Treehouse URL? Thanks!

Treehouse TeacherAlex has given a good answer. If you have access to the blog and it's WordPress, then you can use the JSON API plugin. Amit Bijlani found this for us (see his answer to a similar question which includes a link to a gist you can use as well).

Treehouse TeacherI've never worked with Drupal, but if you can find a similar plugin that returns JSON data about a specific blog, then you should only need to make minor changes to the Blog Reader app code regarding how the JSON data is parsed.
