    Hello. I created a wordpress site and i want to somehow post news(from other sites eventually) automatically(self updates) and create some categories (ex: internet news, games news, etc). Anyone knows how to do that? Thank you.

    Thanks for the reply.Yeah in the mean time i discovered WPRobot but it is too complicated and VERY EXPENSIVE. Any other decent and free alternatives? I dont know for sure but the thing i want do to is to add some rss feeds from a news site with a wide range of categories. Thanks

    Hi, I don't see subscribe to auto anything but I have knocked up a few of these for folks. I will take a look real fast. Off the top of my head I am not sure if you can pull stuff categorically centric but I will poke around real fast.

    Umm hey i installed that plugin, i tried to feed yahoo games news and put them in a "games" category on my blog and the posts summaries shows but when i click read more it redirects me to the original yahoo page. Is this how rss feeds works?( i have no knowledge about rss feeds) Could WP Robot do a better job? (putting the whole posts) Someone please help me. Thank you

    wprobot will do very better job, this is why its quite costly.

    But there are free alternative to autoblog, search more in this forum, i read a few a few days ago, free autoblog software.
