Importing sponsor hosted galleries into Wordpress

[LD]

Is there an easy way to do this? I can upload files to the server, but after that I am not exactly sure what to do to?

[walrus]

I assume you mean something like this

http://www.greenguysboard.com/board/...ad.php?t=40901

or this

http://www.greenguysboard.com/board/...ad.php?t=40539

where you can import galleries in as pages.

Thanks Walrus. These are great, but I was thinking of something a little simpler.

Say I have a FHG with a url http:/hotporngallery/affiliateid

and the name of the gallery is "Mandy's Sweet Ass"

I want to import it so that I will have an a ref style html code that says:

Mandy's Sweet Ass which when clicked will take me to the url where the galleries are hosted.

Make sense? The only way I can figure out how to do it now is C&P one at a time, and I'm working with hundreds.

BTW, those Playboy links in you blog..did you get the feed to reduce? How'd you do that?

Yep, it makes sense but I don't know of any really simple way of doing it.

I assume you want to put the links in your sidebar?

If its a web page, I guess you could do a view source, save that and then edit the source but that probably would take about as long as the copy and paste method....maybe not.

It's a thing I do when I'm lazy and feeling guilty cause I haven't updated my blog in a while...like now. XXX Blog Maniac is supposed to be a real blog ie. hand written and not full of sales text but my other life has been so time consuming the last couple of months that I've had to resort to cheating from time to time just to keep the damn thing alive.

What I do is I view the raw RSS feed. In either the content encoded section or the description section of the feed is the code that actually shows up from the reader. If you've never looked at a raw feed (or paid attention to it) it looks something like this

This example the sponsor uses both description and content:encoded for the page code.

So I cut the code out, modify it a little bit and presto, instant post for my blog. In the case with the Playboy post, I added a few words of my own and resized the picture.

That reminds me, I've got a long rant coming here one of these days about sponsors and feeds!

OK Walrus, I'm looking to setup feeds - may as well hear this before I start down the wrong road.....

[twn]

You might want to take a look at gallery2blog ( http://www.adultblogresource.com/gallery2blog/ ).
It might just fit your needs.

Nice trick. I haven't really looked at the code that much, but sounds like a cool way to have a pseudo handwritten blog and still take advantage of rss feeds. I might give it a shot...and yeah I'm all ears on the rant..

Give me about a weak, I want to finish up with RSS Feeds and then I'll have my reviews of almost everyone finished.

I asked Kaktus about using Blog Scraper's photo editing capabilities with BA, he figured it would be easiest to just build that function into BA, so should be included in the next BA update

I'm looking forward to your reviews, this morning I had over 11,000 feed posts in BA I'm down to 7,600 now. At one time I was parsing feeds from 76 sponsors, I'm down to 46 now.
It took me four hours today to review my splogs (edit titles and fucked up html, delete gay posts in straight categories etc.).
Four hours is no bueno, just not worth my time.
Goodby Pimproll,Top Bucks,Perfect Gonzo,Hustler Cash, and Fetish Assets.
Probable remove more tomorrow

[walrus]

I've noticed that just trying to get the feeds setup in my evaluation WP script. Seriously, a blow job category doesn't need shemales, does it.

When I'm finished I'd be almost willing to bet that there are only 10 sponsors who really have feeds that can be used across the gamut of ways there are to market RSS. Actually 10 maybe a very high number.

I'm also not a fan of morphing feeds. Lets be real, with all the webmasters out there building blogs at a rate that even free-site builders would be impressed, is morphing really going to make enough of a difference to matter and since Google typically likes to slap sites pretty hard when they think they are trying to be fooled, is it worth it.

If your business plan is to develop blog after blog of duplicate content and search engines are where you are planning the bulk of your traffic to come from then you had better build thousands of them so you can live off of a couple hundred hits a day to each.

[T Pat]

I got rid of Archive Cash, Method Cash and Spartan Dollars today, none of them could put a sentence together, so I know a paragraph would never happen.
and I'm on the verge of getting rid of another because I'm sick of seeing black dicks up white girls asses in the exact same pose

OK Walrus and T Pat, - I'm developing our feeds right now - what do you want in them. Remember that I'm a total newby so you can you may have to use small words.......

you can look at what I have so far at http://www.outlawpornblogs.com/

And I promise not to put any shemale blowjobs in my amateur teen stuff.

First, look at your blog in ie. I'm not sure what's blowing up the template but if it is something in your post and it did that to my blog how long do you think I'd use the feed. It's even worse on the comments page.

Second, look at the text on the very top post. You can feel free to use div's (I like them) to style your posts and hence your feed just pick classes that would be very specific to the site and even make the CSS available to your affiliates.

If you use a table to do that I'll kick you in the balls (and I wear steel toe boots). I don't have a nice clean CSS styled layout to have some dumbass feed fuck it all up with a table.

I'm not sure which script your using for your tag cloud or more importantly for adding the tags to your feed for a sponsors blog / feed I'd probably want them as straight categories. It's a benefit for you because you can publish seperate feeds per category (with WP) as well as the main feed. Just more options for me the RSS marketing dude to play with.

I plugged your feed into Porn Blog Bytes and have a problem with turning your tags into tags for my social bookmark site but that could be a problem on my end. I'll have to play around a bit to see.

You may also want to talk to T-Pat about Blog Organizer. I know there is a version available for sponsors which takes care of making sure all the affiliate codes gets passed through properly. I think he's played around with it a bit.

I don't think its as powerful as WP but for a sponsor blog / feed I don't think you really need all the plug-ins and what nots. Just a nice clean feed from a blog where I know my affiliate codes aren't getting lost somewhere.

I see the problem in IE - looks like a problem with the template - I'll have to dug deeper but when I change templates, it goes away.

But I love tables.... LOL - I haven't inserted any tables - but it's good to know cuz I hate steel toe boots......

Will do. we haven't tested this site fully yet (obviously) but we will test to see that affiliate codes get through before we push it to our affiliates.

Agree - still learning but your feedback is appreciated.

[papagmp]

OK - we had to change templates on outlaw porn blogs and I still have a few edits to do to unsure scroll issues etc....

I still have a shitload of questions so stay tuned....

[NinjaSteve]

I thought gallery scraper would do this.

I do like the new template better.

I run a large monitor and never have my browser window full size. With the way your previous template looked, there was a slight amount of text running along the side of the picture. One or two words per line.

Maybe it's just me and one of my pet peeves but I hate that.

Changing templates fixed your blog but I wouldn't change my template to use your feed.

Yes but I really think it's my (pligg) fault. I'm really becoming a big pligg hater. Going to try playing with something else here in a little while.

[T Pat]

Hey Papa I want to echo Walrus's views on tables, please don't.
Tables are why I got rid of pimproll's feeds, there are a shitload of blogging platforms and feed parsers they all handle html a little differently. if you go with tables some people will not be able to use your feeds.
BO makes running affiliate feeds a snap , scheduling etc. and passing the affiliate ID's is rock solid.
Probable the best reason to use BO is if anything were to ever fuckup with the affiliates ID's you have someone to take the fall besides you

[papagmp]

Don't have any tables - looking into Blog Organizer right now
