But I don’t know how to do this. I would like to fetch that RSS with simple pie to integrate it on another website (sort of auto-submit system).

  1. You also have

    do_action('rss_item')
    

    that runs in the loop for every item in the RSS feed.
    Hook in to that and output anything extra you need in to the feed item.

    To show the excerpt instead of the entire article, go to “reading” in Settings section of your admin menu and half way through the options there’s a setting to use excerpts instead of full text.

    No plugins required. Just a little custom programming.
