reBlog

Post by tuler »

Has anyone developed a plugin for reBlog (http://www.reblog.org), or any tool like it? This sounds like something that would be very useful. I checked spartacus and didn't see anything.

Hi!

Is reblog like a planet? Then check the RSS Aggregator plugin for s9y?

Huh! Watch out, what you are doing. There where many discussions in the blogosphere the last time about a blog only "reblogging" articles and adding Ads to it in order to increase incoming. (Keyword tradeblog.info..)

"ReBlogging" can easily be misunderstood as content steeling...

I'm not sure what a planet is in this reference.

Does the RSS Aggregator plugin take the feed an publish it as a blog post?

I'm very aware of those issues. The blog we're starting would be a majority of our own content, but there are feeds that we would like to comment on and expand on.

Hi!

Yes, a planet/aggregator fetches postings from a RSS-Feed and re-publishes it on your isntallation.

The RSS Aggregator serendipity plugin can do this since a few years. :)

Best regards,
