How To Replicate Techchuck AutoBlog

Could you explain how do you include pics in each and every post of your autoblog, in the same place and how do you ad "read more", please?

The problem with "thumbnails for excerpts" is that I don't get the "source of the thumbs"!

If the post itself comes with no pics embedded, does the plugin create any randomly?

Do I have to make a gallery and add images like in nextgen, "thumbnails for excerpts" itself picks the automatically from Flickr or alike?
Thanxxx

I want to know how the guy from techchuck can scale the images that comes from the original blog and how he can add the "Read the whole story" with a link to the original source?

thanks
 
do you mean resize the images in the posts? im guessing he is using excerpts on the post pages as well hence the read the whole article link.
 
@specopkirbs

it make totally sense now. But how can I make the article show only the excerpt for the posts?
I did it and it shows exactly like the homepage and a read more link that point to my own site instead of to the original source.

thanks

I'm willing to pay to have a replica of techchuck[dot]com. I need to create one of those in spanish and I'm tired of this try and error thing.

PM if interested.
 
I need help to configure Dynamic Youtube Videobar, please!
I can,t find the way to configure the plugin to show just a big single TV screen (same width of my sidebar)
Thank yoy
 
@blackhaty -goodjob! you almost have the exact copy of techchuck.com. how did you manage to use excerpt on the main post and add the "Read the whole story", "Continue" etc. link to the original source? what autoblog plugin are you using? i think autoblogged can do this with post template, i would like to know if its also possible with wp-o-matic.
 
if anyone is interested im considering doing a thread to create a blog simlar to
http://anonymizeit.com/?http://mfakhri.info/

This is exactly the kind of thing I am interested in.

I want to take a bit longer on my sites in the hope they stick longer.

Very interested in the sites you mentioned above.

Ideally I would love to build a clone of this site:

Code: 
http://www.mashget.com/

:)
 
yeah ive been looking at mashget for a while but its a custom theme it is a great site though
 
is it okay to take content from another site like techchuck??

because i never use rss,i usually use video
 
well i suppose it depends how you use...techchuck pulls content from other sources as its an aggregate site and in turn those sites often take content from other news stories for example i posted a link from technicnews.com this http://technicnews.com/neuroscientists-in-brooklyn-successfully-erase-memories-with-drugs/ to reddit last night and that content i pulled from this article in http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/neuroscientists-in-brooklyn-successfully-erase-memories-with-dru/ which in turn was an article from the new york times... so content gets thrown around alot websites dont often mind if you use content off them as long as you post back to the original article. and google seems to rank aggregate sites highly!
 
not entirely sure what you mean by that mate elaborate please
