   I would like to feature the name of the Blog that the shared item comes from, but I can't see a tag for that? Author name for group blogs would be good too.

   Am I missing something obvious?

   I'm pretty sure I've figured out how to get this feature by editing the shared-items-post.php

   Around line 212 (just before $new_items[] = $new_item;), Add this:
   
$rss = $item->get_source();
$new_item['source_link'] = $rss->get_permalink();
$new_item['source_title'] = $rss->get_title();


   Also, around line 228 (within the foreach ($new_items as $item) loop), add this:
   
$import = str_replace('%SOURCE%', $item["source_title"], $import);
$import = str_replace('%SOURCELINK%', $item["source_link"], $import);


   And now %SOURCE% and %SOURCELINK% work just like %TITLE% and %LINK% in the plugin options page in WordPress.

   I just played around until I got this to work...use at your own risk. I used this page for reference: http://simplepie.org/wiki/tutorial/how_to_display_previous_feed_items_like_google_reader
   In that example, the relevant variable is called $feed instead of $rss.
