Tumblr works better as an aggregator than WP does, so I stopped trying to swim upstream and let everything come through Tumblr now. It gets the job done.<br><br>P.S. I checked out your blog. I've never used MS Money, but Quickbooks is no joy either. They both seem bloated and hard to navigate easily. If you are looking for simplicity and ease of use, a green eyeshade and some sharp pencils will get you there with the change still in your pocket. I gave up trying.

I'm using Yahoo Pipes to filter it down to just 1 day/week/month's worth of posts. Then I'll run a script (manually, or via cron) once a day/week/month to go get the feed, convert it to HTML and post it to wordpress. It won't be clean, and it won't be pretty, as I don't have the time for that. But, I'd be happy to share when I'm done if it'll be of use to you. I'm looking for this VERY same thing.
