How can a site generate its own content?

    How do I create a site that adds content automatically?
    Does it grab content from RSS feeds?
    Can anyone point me to sources where I can learn about this?
    I don't really know what I'm looking for, so I don't even know what to "google" :eek:

    any help is appreciated

    It can grab content from rss feeds ,most of mfa sites does it .
    Or it can search keyword and publishes the results , but most of people including me hates these type of spam sites.

    Yeah, they'll use rss syndication and cron jobs to pull content from the top sites on feedburner and similar sites and display it on thiers.

    Which part of that are you wanting to do, actually program a site that can do that, or find a cms that can do that for you ???

    I guess the second one?
    I understand that this alone simply makes for a crappy site, but I'd like to see if i could incorporate it in some fashion.

    thanks krak, rep added.
    Does anyone know if there's anything like this for a regular blog (not wordpress)?
