Thanx from a lazy fuck

[Jel]

Pat, reading your initial post got me off my lazy ass and with UW's help I managed to get my blog utilising Chop's Cash (Check Chop & UW's sig people!) feeds and not only is it a cinch for a technical dumbass like me, the posts fit in with my layout perfectly, no running in and out into the sidebars or any of that shit.

Awesome job guys, awesome!

Too keep the kudo's flowing, since Jel's blog is a part of XXX Blog Feeds, the feed even makes it into his sites RSS feed and into my blog, affiliate code in tact.

That's cool, but isn't this also problematic. For example, Jel and I are both listed on XXX blog feeds and pornpig (I believe) - two aggregators for people not in the know. So if Jel and I both put Useless' feed into our blogs, aren't you going to see at least one duplicate entry of this content on your aggregators?

And truth be told, we're a small community of bloggers on this board and I'm sure most of us promote Useless because he is so gad-damn sexy for someone who is only 4'3" (judging purely by the sound of his voice or course). Point being I think several of us would add his feed to our main blogs if not for this aggregator duplication issue.

Or am I just over-thinking things?

I think you have a valid point there, Preacher, even if you did make that horrible comment about my voice which will probably land me 3 more years of therapy.

Obviously, I aggregate all 8 of our feeds on my lovely porn blogs page. And so do a couple of the blogs of board members which I pull. The other day I noticed that two of the hosted blog posts of the same title were listed one right after the other; one with my affiliate code, the other with someone else's. I could easily have gone to my admin and yanked the repeated post, but since it was promoting the program which is nearest and dearest to my heart, I left it in. |shocking| I would expect any 'normal' blog owner would and should, for the sake of having a quality blog, remove repeat posts like that.

Your welcome. Therapy rocks, it's where they pass out the best drugs!

That goes against my whole unfounded belief that aggregators are supposed to be hands free.

I mean Hell, if you aggregator guys are actually reading my blog entries then you know how just how messed up I really am.

Just to sound completely insane and reply to myself...I just went to pornpig and I love Alex so this isn't anything against him, but of the last 5 posts on pornpig right now there is a post and right below it a duplicate post. Then an original post, followed by another set of duplicates.

Actually, you do point out an interesting problem for which I have no good solution...I would be against deleting posts of one webmaster in favor of another...and on the other hand, it would do the site no good to have the same post multiple times.

My only solution would be to work with the individual webmasters to try to come to some type of solutions....if none could be found, then I guess I'd have to be an asshole and decide which feed was more productive for the site and go with that.
