Depending on how you want it integrated:

• You can create a plugin that will use cron mechanism in Elgg to check some external source and create blog entity in code if needed
• You can expose this ability to external service to send request to Elgg installation and make the blog entry using core WebServices mechanism described here http://learn.elgg.org/en/stable/guides/web-services.html
