Currently I have over 20 different blogs and its slowly growing. Managing all of these blogs is becoming a pain since I have to log into each one separately not only to confirm comments, but to also post and publish articles. My question is hHow do I control all of my blogs from one dashboard or control panel? Is this even possible? I know there are dp users that offer blogging services submit articles to over 300 of their blogs across several netoworks. Not that I'm trying to do this, but I know that if they can do it, there must be a such a solution to my problem. Thanks for your help in advance!
Hmmm... I am not aware of a solution that can work across different blogging platforms - and different IP addresses. Are all of your blogs using the same technology? That would at lease make the problem easier... ie all WordPress or all Blogger. The problem could probably be solved with a simple desktop application - you might write it in something like Groovy which is fast and easy. Essentially you would create a simple editor box (there are many off the shelf you can plug in to a Java or Groovy App) - then just pick which blog you want to publish to - click "Submit" Your application would have to have a way of maintaining the Username & Password of the blog administrator - and the URL to the blog. Some sort of an "Add Blog" feature would be needed. Then on the back end teach your app how to "Reverse Screen Scrape" - like a web bot - it would know how to log in - say to Blogger (as an easy example) - log in to your particular blog using something like HTMLUtils... or a similar web manipulation library. Then the software would just follow the screens and post your blog, sign out, and it would be published. You are right - somebody must have written something like this. But i also can't see it taking more than 2-3 days to program in Groovy. The quesiton is - would this really save you that much time? I publish to a reasonable number of blogs all the time around 35 right now... and i just log in and post. They are all different technologies (Drupal, WordPress mostly)... for me the hardest part is just remembering all my logins - I maintain those in a spreadsheet for reference - curious if you envision something else that this software would do - across your blogs - besides post? and how it would save you much time over manual posting? (i can see a little savings, just not a huge amount) Good luck!
