Automating Blogs

[David65]

You could use a plug-in and supply your blog with a sponsors feed. That is how some do it. I myself don't use them as they are extensively used by many other webmasters. I like my blogs to have unique content.

I've found this nifty little plug-in that I use and find it extremely helpful. It's called CSV to Post and can be found here

I just build a spreadsheet with the title/postdate/category/actual post html/ and any other special fields. You can date each post individually down to the time. In about a couple of hours I can create unique blog posts that updates every how many days I want and import the file. With 122 posts and updates every 3 days I have a blog that is set for a year and now I can concentrate on promoting the blog and working on other projects.

I hope this helps.

edit: BTW, this version only works with wordpress versions 2.6 and earlier. I don't know off hand if there is an update that works with 2.7-2.8 yet.

That's a nice helpful little plugin..thanks for sharing it. My blogs are 2.7 so don't have to worry about it not working with 2.8

I moved this here because there is already some really good information on automating blogs in here. I'm sure you'll get some really good information.
