There is no point to make a new theme when there are so many good themes out there that you can just customize to your liking

i guess wp-o-matic new version is closer to release. I hope it has more options more like autoblogged.

no problem mate. I just want a unique theme or layout..It's not just an autoblog site..But like google say : Build site that can give many advantages to visitor

So ..scarping site is not a problem IF the site is very usefull to visitor. I think everyone can pull content from rss using wpo easily and automatic... But for long terms succesfull autoblog site..you need profe uniq theme and layout

Just concentrate in one autoblog site.. if you have got good traffict and money...duplicate your work

just my 2 cents

Sorry for bad english

A few simple tips after working with autoblogging & templates:

1. Use yahoo pipes for lower CPU usages.
If you just like me, use a basic standard for web hosting then CPU usage will be the main problem for autoblogging, since scrapping many RSS feeds and pull the content or saving images eat a lot of CPU and memory, so be careful with this.

I got suspended by my webhost, after that
- I tried to fix several unimportant query by the plugins
- Install wp super cache for minimize query
- using yahoo pipes to aggregate the RSS feed (group by category) and then aggregate the content via yahoo pipes, by this you only access one rss feeds. It's really simple by the way.
- I contact the HG support ask for more information about CPU usages, around 10% to 25% allowed in shared hosting.
- Set the cron job more than 90min since almost all the shared hosting allowed the max around that period

2. Buy some old domain for faster caching by google
try freshdrop etc, i build several autoblog and compare them, old domains cached faster than new ones.

3. If you use advanced excerpt plugins, here's a neat way to add read more

change the elipsis at line 320 in the plugins script into this ones

    'ellipsis' => (' ... <a '.'href="'.get_permalink().'">'.'Read More'.'</a>'),

and autoblog works, right now my blogs got around 100-200 uv daily without onlywire autosubmitter or whatever tools that support auto subscribe, pure content without promotion and got around $2-5 daily. I have 4 blogs btw.

the newest is shoespimps dot commercial

sorry - i'm still not allowed to post url

hope the info above helps.

Can you share how you did with yahoo pipes if you don't mind?

 

[nasgorkam]

Can you share how you did with yahoo pipes if you don't mind?

1. Create account on pipes dot yahoo
2. Click on create pipe on the header menu
3. Drag the fetch feed menu on the left side into the main window
4. Add your RSS url
5. Click the + icon to add more RSS
6. Drag the dot of the fetch feed into the pipe output
7. Click refresh to see the result
8. Save
9. View the result
10. get the feed address by clicking the Get RSS (use the feeds for your autoblog)

done,..

There's two advantage using y pipes, 1 lower CPU usage, 2 you can check whether the Feed is good enough to use or not, i mean it can give you the preview of the feed by clicking the title.

ps : for more good templates, try to make the thumnail images as big as the ads 250x250, so it can placed side to side with the ads and the content after it. works well for me.

its simple, the images produced by tfe have the class "imgfte"
just put this code in your css

.imgtfe  {padding: 2px; border: 1px solid #ddd; margin: 7px 5px 0 0; float: left;}

I've tried WoM, Autoblogged, feedwordpress,..

So far, I'm very satisfied with autoblogged, the setting of WoM drive me nuts, I've get several error when retrieving rss feed from various type of RSS,... what I can suggest you is go with autoblogg, minimal setting but very flexible in templating and customizing

IMHO

After read your reply, I search autoblog plugin at this great forum BWH..and try to setup this...and..

viola.... it's really auto.

But I have question...

If I setup minimum time between update 60 minute and max 180 minutes, I it mean autoblogged script will check rss feed randomly between 60 up to 180 minutes ?

thanks

 

[abhi1]

Does autoblogged fetches full images or always creates a thumbnail? am stuck with that...

EDIT: does someone knows a better plugin than "YD Recent Post"?
