No it doesn't mean that but yes you can edit the posts - lol! Even more confused now? OK, let me explain . . .
Morphing RSS Feeds are feeds that change depending on the affiliate code entered into the feed address. For example, take a look at my PureCFNM feed here:-
http://purecfnm.com/blog/feed/?id=1728132
If you type that into a web browser you will see the feed. Now change the final 7 digit number to something different and hit refresh - voila, the picture, title and text of all the posts changes (because by changing the number at the end, the feed sees you as a different affiliate and gives you a "morphed" version of all the posts). This way no two affiliates get the same post.
OK, that explains what morphing is, now onto your question about editing them. Firstly, why would you want to edit them? The whole idea of using morphing feeds is that it can automate your blogs with fresh, new content on a regular basis without your input. Having said that, all the feeds are is a way of pulling in content so if you did really want to change the posts you can. All the feed will do is pull in the data and display it according to the settings in your syndicated RSS Feeds set up. You can set it up that none of the posts go live before you approve them, or you can let them go live automatically but you can still go into the posts themselves and edit them at any time. It's very flexible really. Next question padawan?
