How to display member avatars and posts on other sites?

Since I have a site with huge traffic, I would like to display my blog members and their posts on the site. How to do that? I know we do it using RSS feed but I want to show members’ avatars as well(or at least avatar) Thanks in advance. It’s some kind of widget.

    I think we’re getting a bit confused here. When you say “other sites”, do you mean other sites within your mu install (ie blog1.mymu.tld and blog2.mymu.tld) or other sites meaning completely away from your mu install? (ie mymu.tld and some-random-site-that-has-nothing-to-do-with-wp-and-wpmu.tld)

    Maybe if you gave an example of what you;re trying to take data from and where you want it to go, it would be helpful. Also what software the second site is running, that would be a plus as well.

    If it is the second one, my suggestion of the sitewide feed but with the avatar code is probably going to be best. That’s the easiest method. (With magpie, you can through up an rss feed pretty much anywhere) There are other solutions but they all depend on what software is being used. (Which is why examples and links are always a plus.)

    Sorry for my poor English. I mean the second(other sites completely away from my mu install). I would like to attract new member prospects to register on the new site(from my existing sites). I’d like avatars to be displayed because I think it’s kind of gimmick to draw attention from new visitors. thank you.
