Hey everyone, finally stopped lurking

Hey guys, long time lurker, finally made an account.

I run a couple of small content sites and most of my time goes into the boring backend stuff - scraping, metadata, trying to keep everything updated without doing it all by hand.

Joined because the automation and traffic threads here are honestly better than most paid stuff I've seen lol. Looking forward to learning from you all.

Welcome to BHW, what tools are you using for automation?

you can ask direct questions about whatever you want to know and get advice from many people, this has been a great help to me as well.

Thanks man! Honestly nothing fancy - mostly Python scripts I hacked together over time, plus cron jobs to keep the scraping and metadata updates running. A lot of it is still pretty manual when something breaks, which is why I'm here reading the automation threads lol. What about you, anything you'd recommend for someone still doing half of it by hand?
