Getting Posts from Another URL

Hello,

Just out of curiosity, can I input any url for URL blogFeedUrl and get the posts from there, or does that website need to be formatted in some special way?

I've learned that you can not put any url in the blogfeedurl, I've been trying for at least a week now. I am guessing there is something special you have to do but the video and instructions doesn't explain how to do it/what to do, I even tried hardcoding it, that didn't work. So I guess we'll need to wait for someone to make a tutorial on what to do. I hope someone answers, please share if you figure it out, and I will do the same.
