I find I get good results from creating my own unique content but have to admit I haven't tried automation. I used the blog linked to a myspace account but it was deleted after someone phished it and broke the rules. wish I had backed it up before but I gues you live and learn. I'm setting up a wordpress version now and intend to continue to write my own content but would be interested in RSS across to my new myspace account if thats possible. can anyone tell me how? Paul
If you're well aware of what's going on on the Web, and have an idea of what you wanna write about, and time for research is your only problem, getting another person to help you run the content on your blogs might be a solution.
since I dislike re-publishing content I just write from my own experince. I have enough in 5 years of web development so that I don't need to run for content elsewhere
