Doesn't matter, it has made the first post, this seems to be good so far.

Thanks man.

Thank you very much for releasing this.

One thing I noticed: It doesn't save the settings you input in wordpress. When you hit save, the plugin reloads and all the stuff you just entered is there (and I believe it saves it to the backend) but if you leave to go edit a post or something and come back to the plugin options then your options have been reset to 0 and it doesn't remember your access key.

Thanks again for the great plugin though.

Hmmm, have not seen that error anywhere.
Have to look into that.

Update: Have not been able to replica this problem.
Try to download the newest version.

when can i expect the major update that you mentioned? pretty excited after reading the posts here mate

Yep, it has been delayed though.
Will be updated during today (tuesday)

How does one take advantage of the rewrite feature only? You stated that one can use any RSS fetcher along with this plug in. How exactly?

Thanks!!

You cannot take advantage of the rewrite feature only.
You need to find an RSS fetched with a built-in rewriter feature.

I might develop that to postwriter, should be quite easy - but its not on top of the to-do list.

Thanks for your quick reply. Let me know if you ever build just a rewriter plugin. For me fetching fresh content is not the problem...finding a good rewriter tool is.

Cheers

Okay, thanks for the information
I got one more feature to add to postwriter, then im going to look into that rewriter tool.

I signed up. This will be awesome as I am just embarking on a blogging campaign.

Remember to download the new version when it's ready - some major updates in that one.

Still working on the update, taking way more time than expected

Is something wrong with your site. I cant load it for some reason?

I set up two blogs, loaded the plugin but two hours later still no posts. Could it be that my keywords are a problem?

Works fine here.

No, they are scheduled for posting at a random time of the day.
Will change this in the update, so the first fetch is posted instantly.

Try click "Posts" in wordpress and you will see them there.

Nice Job! The rewrite is very readable.

Hi mate

Thank you for this. Just downloaded and installed. I can see the scheduled post in the queue. Have not reviewed the rewriting feature though.

First impressions, and suggestions

1. Looking good so far.

2. Keywords - you might want to point out what delimeter to use for the different keywords

3. Posting frequency + Keywords - It would be nice to have a way to have more than one keyword, & be able to specify how frequently to post them. WP Robot does this quite nicely. For example, I might have a site on Vegetarianism, and want 1 post on this every day, but once a week, want an article on Veganism.

4. Already noted by others. The usual youtube, flickr etc would be great.

5. Categories+Keyword+Contenttype. I think someone else noted this already. It would be very useful to be able to have keyword, and content type, and decide what category to post in. This category type would be (ideally) existing categories defined on the blog, and not some predefined list like you have now, which unfortunately can never be exhaustive.

6. Not sure which version I downloaded. A simple version number, even if only in the .zip filename, would make it easier to understand. I think this is more so important now, when you have a short release cycle, and will have many different versions of the plugin flying around.

Overall though, it is looking good so far.

Judson

Great review, thanks a lot

Quite a few of your suggestions will be in the next update.

I looked at WP Robot and a few others and really like how they do some of the features, this will be something I will look into after the next upcoming update.

The multiple keyword into different categories is really nice.

Have to work on blogger support first though

Hi,

registered, downloaded, and installed.
Everything works for me grate))

But, the first post is "Uncategorized". I set in the config an existing category.
How do i force the plugin to post to the right category?


Thanks!

Here we go, update is up and running.
click here to download the new version: Postwriter.com - Free Autoblog Plugin


Change Log (v0.95)

- [optional] Post an image related to the article.
- [optional] Post an video from youtube related to the article, can deside how often you want a video to be posted (average). Example; 1 video for every 5 articles.
- Articles is now being posted in a selected Category (blog category).
- The first articles after plugin activation is now being posted instantly instead of scheduled.
- Fixed a bug caused when running on localhost.
- Fixed a bug which deleted the Accesskey from time to time (older WP versions).

- The following tags can be used in your template for custom styling (not needed, optional):
<img class='related-image'>
<div class='related-video'>

Comments; The video and images should be very related to the content of the article, however there can be times when som crap video/image is being posted. You have to deside if your keyword/niche works with these features, if not then disable it.

Go go test, would love to get some feedback

Going to work on Blogger support now.
More features to the plugin is welcome.

Multiple keywords into different categories is going to be added soon.

It will b great to see the plugin fetch from multiple RSS sources instead of EZA.

getting errors like below when activating your plugin, I had to remove it pity

PHP Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string

Testing....
Great share mate

We only use EZA, dont see a reason to include RSS support to be honest.
Plenty of material on eza, which covers every single niche/keyword.

I have set up four new blogs so far. My goal is two per day until I reach the 40 mark. I have put a little spin on it though so I can maximize the benefits.

1) I installed statpress plugin so I can monitor which keywords are bringing me traffic
2) I installed Jeff Johnson's traffic getting plugin
3) I created a privacy policy, terms and use, and disclaimer policy that I loaded on the domain and put links in the footer (just trying to be give google what it wants)
4) After I start seeing traffic, I as thinking about having some adsense and some cpa offers to see which converts better

I do find that I have to do minor editing to the articles but the content is very good.

All in all this is an extremely helpful plugin.

I'm very glad to hear that

Just signed up and everything is working great so far. The first post was done right away and it is a fairly coherent read for the rewrite. I will try to post a more detailed review in a few day.

Thanks
