I'm trying to find some more content for my forum. It's a webmaster niche and I'm looking for more articles but I don't want to spend an arm and a leg to get articles on my forum. Is there another alternative to paying someone to write an article? Any recommendations for a forum that needs content?
Articles on forum can easily be displayed for free if your forum has a RSS robot plugin, or whatever its name, my friend's hubby had a forum that automatically displayed articles for each of the categories on an hourly basis grabbed from sites offering free-articles syndication. I have no idea of the forum, script or further details though, and sadly they are around here to ask them but I can try find these answers, you might figure out them, or someone could point you in the right direction.
A bot that pulls RSS feeds for articles, you know I've never thought about that. I will have to do some searching, thanks.
RSS feed bot is one of the main features which compelled me to migrate to Vbulletin. Sure you can search to see if any plugins are available for SMF.
But don't forget that you are sending your members to another site when you are referring rss feeds. My first need would be to keep my visitors on my site for a long as I can. I would write articles myself I was you and beware of the fact that you write indemand articles! Just my opinion.
