There is a plugin u get for wordpress that transforms your posts as JSON data, in which you can use the same exact thing as the tutorial and just replace the link with urs.

This is the plugin wordpress.org/plugins/json-api/

Let me know if you need anything else.

Try adding " ?json=1 " to it at the end.

http://www.raidermedia.net/?json=1 And you'll get your 4 most recent posts.

If you want more, just add to the link &count=10 or 20. depending on how much you have and want.

I have a WordPress.com site rather than a WordPress.org site, and from my understanding this means I can't install plugins.

How can I get my blog posts in json format or other format?
