Ok, thanks guys. I'll see what I can do about it.
Anyway, welcome to another day of going through the new features of the new uberBlogCreator. Today's feature: how to add articles to your blogs?
In the previous versions one of the most requested feature was the ability to add the title to every individual post. uberBlogCreator 2 introduces that, and more. A picture is worth a thousand words:
As you can see, every article has a [title=Title Goes Here] tag. The text in this tag is what is going to be used as a title. This text is naturally spinnable. Article body is below. You can add a new paragraph by specifying the [newline] tag. Then, instead of using a silly way of separating the new articles using the new line, you simply write the [newarticle] tag.
But the real interesting part is the first few lines of this text. As you can probably conclude,
uberBlogCreator 2 has the ability to grab the contents from a feed and post it to your blog. Even so with a few specific parameters: 1) It'd be silly to scrape all contents from a feed because that may include contents that's 2-3 or even more years old. The "date" parameter tells uberBlogCreator after what date should it scrape the content. So, for example, if today is November 1st, and you put "2012-10-30" in the date tag, uberBlogCreator will only grab the content from that feed that has been published on or after 2012-10-30 (so October 30th, 2012).
And it supports FeedBurner. Couple this feature with the up and coming drip-feed feature and you've got yourself some $$$
But what good is adding existing articles/feeds to your blog if you can't customize it? That's why you have the two optional "addafter" and "addbefore" tags. In these tags you can specify
any HTML (as long as the platform you're posting to supports it) and these two HTML elements will be added before or after (or both) the article grabbed from the feed. I think this is really neat.
As for the status update regarding the software itself: the testing is proceeding according to my plans. Right now, Wordpress, Posterous, TravelBlog, and a few other platforms have been tested and are flawless. Xanga is not working and it may be replaced by some other platform. The rest of the platforms have all been coded and are pending testing.
The release is near
