If you’ve ever administered a MySite site collection, you’ll know that certain boundaries are in place to protect the data in that site collection. MySites are a different type of site collection with a security paradigm all their own. That security also cascades down to blogs inside someone’s MySite. For example, a site beyond the MySite site collection boundary (e.g. http://myintranet, for example) cannot access an RSS feed using the RSS feed reader in SharePoint 2010 natively of a blog that resides inside someone’s MySite (e.g. http://my/sites/jeff/blog). In order to get around this, you can use a page viewer webpart in a page like http://myintranet/page1.aspx in order to view the rss feed of the MySite’s blog. On the blog page, click List, then RSS Feed on the ribbon. Take that URL, and paste it into the page viewer webpart on page1.aspx on your intranet site. This is a crude, but functional way to get around that site collection security issue.
