You're making me laugh even more with that list! But I apologise, I was think of "wood" as a euthamism for... um... something. But seriously, it's excellent to have a subject area to write about with such passion... and no I'm not being rude again. I love the smell of freshly sawn timber.
All that duplicate content will hurt your SE rankings in the long term, IMO. Better to offer a feed and let other folks pick up your content naturally. As always, IMO. AmCy
I prefer writing content to scripts so I'm a bit slower than most in this type of thing. Is there any way of using this method to feed pages that are plain .html rather than .php or mod re-written php?
You will know when you 'get it bad' when you start using your blogs to feed other blogs 2RSS software will do that just fine.
Oh get over yourself. It's a tool with original content - it's like his own mini news network for his own sites - good on him... People are so desperate to use words like 'splog'
Thanks, SEBasic. Just been wasting some hours trying to get it to work with my php link directory. I cannot get it to show in the template files - I tried everything! $15 to the one who gives the solution
>>Anyone............................. please? If you're running in a server that runs php and allows you to edit the .htaccess file you can add this to it... AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html And then just use one of the RSS processing scripts out there to display the content on your site.
Let me see if I understand the basic concept correctly here, you have 'Blog Site A', where you submit posts (content blocks) into specific categories, and then on multiple other sites you pull category specific feeds from 'Blog Site A' to use as additional or filler content in side-bars or such? I've always liked the general idea of content management for multiple sites from a central location like this, and I'm not saying this is black-hat in any way--but with SE's taking more notice of duplicate content and what they broadly define as splogging isn't there a valid concern in using blog software to achieve this effect? It may work out today, but a few months down the road could bite you in the rear as SE's become more aggressive on duplicate content and splogging. And even if what you're doing isn't really malicious splogging, who can tell how the SE's will determine that in their filters? It just seems to me that it would be easy enough to create a single-point back end content management system where you would still create posts/content blocks in specific categories, auto-generate RSS feeds for each category and then syndicate them to your other sites and not have to worry about some over-zealous SE filter flagging your sites/feeds because they originate from a Blog (or Blog software) on your network. Do others agree or do you think I'm thinking too far ahead worrying about future filters this way? Would there be interest in something like this? Scott
Thanks SEbasic, Before I asked the question, I had set up a test file, test.php and everything worked find - it shows the rss feed. Another file test.html - identical to the first, apart from the fact that it's .html, just gave a blank where the feed should be. In my .htaccess, amongst other things, I already had: AddType text/html .html AddHandler server-parsed .html allowing me to run SSI's. I've now changed this to AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html AddType text/html .html AddHandler server-parsed .html test.html still doesn't show a feed though while test.php does.
Just for the record, I've done a bit of reading and I think to get a .htaccess file that works - so that I could run php scripts on html pages - I'd need to drop my SSI's. These have the form <!--#include virtual="page.shtml" --> and act to include pages with .shtml extensions on .html pages. Instead I'd need to use php includes along with an appropriate .htaccess file.
