How can I make the best use of sponsor RSS

[NY Jester]

I was hoping to see TPat and Walrus in this thread. I truly do try and follow what the two of you have to say on the subject of blogs and splogs. And I'll be looking forward to the tutorial Walrus.

I agree, that most sponsor feeds Ive seen are horrid..a shitty pic and one line text link. Is there any sponsors that use text rich feeds?

I honestly was thinking that they'd be best served for a feeder or feeders. Is it possible to set how often and how many posts are made from any given sponsor feed? FOr example, if I wanted to have the jayMan Cash fed update 2 times per week with only 2 posts each, is that possible? Or something like that..one post per week, from each sponsor or site? Also if a blog is set up for the feeds to be posted can you still hand submit along with them?

If I can think of anything else (which I have plenty) I'll post.

Thanks in advance guys

Check out the site in my sig. It will give you a chance to preview most of the feeds that at least have some text. You can see how often the feed is updated, quantity of text and quality of text. It at least gives you a way to try before you buy...so to speak.

I intentionally left out those feeds that didn't have at least 250 characters. It's only about 75% complete.

The question is do you want to do your feeders in a "blog" type of environment. I would, if for no other reason than it would give you a chance to format the feed properly.

In this instance I'd have to say take a good look at Blog Organizer. It would give you the opportunity to read in the posts, schedule them the way you want and even allow for you to edit them if need be. You could either use the blog template system built into BO or post to a WP blog.
