How To Replicate Techchuck AutoBlog

Click on Pages.

Create your page

Then click on Settings

Then click on Reading under the Setting Section.

Here you will see a thing that says: Front Page Displays

Instead of Latest Post click on Static Page. Select the page you just created.

This should do it Unless I am just extremely mistaken.

That is correct, but in this particular case of Elegant-box theme , the home tabs always stays.

Received answer from author of theme to eliminate Home tab (to allow the new one to be the front page):
remove the following line in header.php:


<li class="<?php echo($home_menu); ?>"><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ? rel="nofollow">/"><?php _e('Home', 'elegantbox'); ?></a></li>
 
How come I only get 1 or 2 pictures when wpomatic fetches? Fetched 8 and only got pic on 1.
 
I understand that it depends on the feed but, when I right click on the empty pic box and click "properties" it shows that a pic is cached and gives the link to it, but it does not show up on the post itself.
 
To Speco and others.

Has anyone started earning yet? I am up to about 100 UV a day but still no earnings. Just have a adsense tower on the left side of the posts in mine.

Site has only been up a few days so I am sure I am just being anxious.

Would love to hear how others are doing.
 
yeah im earning pretty good for a 3 week old blog and traffic is increasing by the day too i make anywhere between 2-5 a day from adsense and a fair bit fom cj every few days i was CSing (shhhhh) amazon which was a great earner but ive stopped it for now trying to keep this blog as legit as possible for now
 
Hi All,...

I'm new here, just wanna share something here. I've tried step by step from specopkirbs, and it works very well (Thank you so much). But still I'm having problem with onlywireautosubmitter.

I've tried the autoblogs for around 3-4 months, back then I used feedwordpress, but since its grabbed all the content, my blogs usually goes to sandbox for duplicate content with the original web.

So now I'm using autoblogged, compared to wp-o-matic, autoblogged is very easy to use, the hardest part you have to configure the template for each post manually, use the autoblogged template reference and autoblogged template test for that.

I'm not using the twitter plugins, somehow this plugins wont work and crash with another plugins I used, and I dont see any benefit using this plugins.

Autoblog works best with niche like health, photography, gadget and design (IMHO)

The ads that comes with good profit will be horizontal links unit and 250 square under the title and after the post. (CMIIW) I've checked it with analytics and channel.

My blogs that used Autoblog is :
- femalephotographysite (its semi autoblog) the main content still using manual post, the news and camera category use the autoblog
- autocarsinsurance

both of them using dot commercial

the benefit of using the kish twitter plugin is not only is it asthetically pleasing but it also ads extra content to the blog not sure what you mean about configuring the template for each post manually it all does it on its own if you set it up right...but good post mate anyway nice looking blogs too
 
Hi specopkirbs,...

Thankyou about the explanation for twitter plugins, I'll try again to implement that.

About the template post, I mean in autoblogged, we should configure the template for each feeds (The default template put the excerpt first then the images). But since I already have one post template, I just copy paste it, I hope the developer of autoblogged put master template for all the feeds in the main settings, so we can use one master template for all content.
 
Here is my update on my first autoblog, I am getting anywhere from 60 -100 views a day, but no real adsense revenue as of yet. I am going to play with my adsense placement, but I made a bit on some affiliate links.
 
following this guide has helped my seo rankings quite a bit.
nice guide.
 
some tips here caused problems to the theme elegant as my sidebar gone to the bottom instead of the fixed right sidebar
 
its not the tips here that have caused the problem mate its how you have implemented them you have obviously added some code on your blog somewhere and missed out a /div somewhere or something... or if you have used the ready made theme from here you have not installed all the plugins properly
 
You probably using the widget, you need to use this code in the single.php file instead, where you want to display it.

Code:
<div style="padding:2px; ">

     <?php $searchterm = kish_twitter_get_tags(); ?>

     <?php kish_twitter_related($searchterm); ?>
</div>

I does not work at all, don't know why
 
I have a problem with wp-o-matic. I am running wp 2.6. I have installed and configured wpomatic to run on my blog. It fetches fine, pulling in feeds and images. However, when I go to my site I see that only 1 or 2 of the images show. On the ones that don't show up there is a blank image box. When I right click on the box and click on "properties", it shows that the image is cached and provides the link to the image along with the size. So therefore I am assuming that the pic is there. I used Firefox browser to set the website up so I checked it in IE and the exact same 1 or 2 images showed up and the ones I couldn't see in Firefox were the same ones that did not show up in IE. So now I am thinking that it must be in a wordpress setting or such. (Actually I am totally lost!).

Could some of you go to my site and tell me what you see? If you don't see any images could you give me a possible reason for this to happen? Some images show but most don't. Site: americawatchesobama dotcom

Did you add the code to allow this within the loop? You probably need to add the following in the loop.

Code:
<!-- Begin Tag code Mod so Twitter will pull related tweets -->
                                <?php $posttags = get_the_tags(); 
                                   $count=0; if ($posttags) 
                                   { foreach($posttags as $tag) 
                                   { $count++; if (1 == $count) 
                                   { $tagname =  $tag->name . ' '; } } } ?>
                                <!-- End Tag code mod -->
 
I need help with my tags, please!
I tried using the simpletags plugin, and now I am going w/ Autotags2.0.
The problem is that both are pulling viral stupid tags, like :" I,
tags,Am, this, dog, me,....."
What could be the reason for that?:eek:
Thank you
 
I think the related tweets and related youtube videos (customised code) should be further explained as newbies could not folow with short guide by namun or others, thanks
 
trying to explain the customised codes would be a nightmare and would probably need a seperate thread to explain each one i think mate
