Not that it matters but this is for a mainstream outdoor activities blog.
After sleeping on it I think pulling in rss feeds from the subdomain blogs to the root would probably be about the best solution.

If you run into problems lmk and I'll dig deeper into wtf I actually did.

 Would like to know more about how you used a sidebar widget on the index page and what you are using to pull in rss feeds. Also would love to see what your solution looks like on your blog.
