I have a wordpress blog i'm trying to make automated. I am using feedwordpress as my rss reader and I have a cron job set up to run the update twice a day midnight and noon. Here's what I would like to know how to do. On amazingcars.info all the post are devided into seperate catagorys. Many of the post that are in seperate catagories are from the same feed. How do they get them to go into different catagories like that? Next I would like to site to only add 12 new post per day 6 at midnight and 6 at noon. How would I limit the amount of post that my rss feed makes to so many per day? Next and one of the more important things. I also want to create a video blog, how do I get feedwordpress to work with my "MyTube" plugin so that it post from a list of videos i've pre-selected. I'm guessing here I would need to write a xml file with the videos I want to display in it. Say I had 500 videos from youtube on this list. I want to post 12 per day until it has posted them all. How is this done? I want them catagorized, and with titles/descriptions. If i had to write a xml file what would I write, any examples? Thanks for the help guys. Also while i'm here I may as well ask this. I have a email list gathered of 42,000 homeschooling parents. I want to create a homeschooling/distance learning blog. Anyone have some good suggestions on where to find feeds for this idea?
Feedwordpress is not for you if you want all those features. In the first place, it's a free plugin. Not all free ones have the best or packed features. Your question regarding the schedule is rather self explainatory just by looking your crontabs/cronjobs. As for your blog, Google for feeds or better yet google for a subject and "ASK" the authors if you can feed them on your blog.
Agreed. Feedwordpress is good, but for features you will have to shell out with something quality like autoblogger pro. Links in the sig if you'd like to check it out. I'm on ICQ if you need any help.
