I'm building a first website and due to an excess of ambition it has become something of a steep learning curve. I registered a domain name and freeola are now hosting it. I now want to include a largely automated weblog from blogger.com: unfortunately freeola don't allow any sort of proxy when uploading files so it's proving tough.
The workaround I decided on was displaying a simple weblog (hosted elsewhere) in a table on my freeola site. I've tried virtual includes, but this only works for files on the same server. So my question is: how can I display an offsite html file as an element of another webpage? I've only been doing this 2 or 3 days, so try to be gentle!
The site is at http://ds.dial.pipex.com/town/green/ylt63/index.html
and has links to my domain and the template that gets submitted to blogger.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Turbonutter.
I've tried this, but without success. I'm just getting a blank table where I want my test file to display. The results are at gameboyinthedark.co.uk. I wasn't sure if php stuff would appear on viewing source, so I put a link to the .txt source I used. If you could tell if I've done this wrong, it'd be much appreciated.

Well...
You can try it with the fopen() method in PHP. I've never tried it with HTTP calls but I'm told it should work:
$filename = "http://www.blogger.com/whatever/page.htm";
$fp = fopen( $filename,"r");
$page = fread($fp, 10000 );
?>
NOTES:
This will only read the source of the page, so all links to pages, and pictures, will be broken (except external links).
The only other way I can think of doing it is with frames. Sorry.
