makaveli Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I like blogging, I'll admit, hi I'm maka and I'm a blogoholic.. but blogging on myspace and my word press is always a case of type up on one or the other get the HTML and copy it. i blog on myspace as a lot of people i know use it and that's good, i like to drum up traffic for my main blog, what would be perfect is the two to sync or possibly even better if i do a "real blog" on WP myspace posts a snippet then "read more" any ideas on how my blogging life could be made easier? i do understand that feedburner is a tool people use but im a bit murky on what that is, i signed up but never "got it" Thanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyguy Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Not being a huge MySpace fan (remember when it took effort to have a website?), I'd say ditch MySpace and stick with your WP blog. Make it good and you will have visitors. If you want it to be social make it a community blog. I don't know of any way to post on one and have it show up on the other anyway.

TCH-Bruce Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 As heyguy says ditch the MySpace blog especially if the content is identical. If you can post to MySpace via email you can also do so with WP. If you created a single email and sent to both addresses both blogs would be updated.

makaveli Posted October 25, 2006 Author Share Posted October 25, 2006 (edited) n (remember when it took effort to have a website?) i still have real sites i simply use myspace for a bit of fun, no one gets hurt im so bad i even look at profiles which are littered with ads where people have got codes from and see how badly designed a lot of them are with concern to copied code, even youtube code doesn't work properly on it. the <object width="425" height="350"> piece of code shows as plain text anyways as regards to WP that is my main blog, i put more on there, but topics i want everyone to hear go on the "myspazz" looks like ill just blog on WP then blog on myspace saying click here to view my main blog :_ Edited October 25, 2006 by makaveli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makaveli Posted October 26, 2006 Author Share Posted October 26, 2006 sorry to double post but, i have just noticed that Myspace blogs offer RSS feeds, so does this mean "with the right tools" i could get this RSS feed to transfer automatically from myspace to my wp?

TCH-Bruce Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Not exactly. You could use a script like Carp to display the RSS feed on your WP blog but I know of no tools that will turn an RSS feed into a post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard of posting to myspace via email, and am considering starting a blog with wordpress after reading all the feedback in here...can you please explain this idea of posting to multiple blogs using your email?

TCH-Bruce Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 With Wordpress you set up an email address on your site and provide that address in the Wordpress Admin panel that you will send email through that will publish to your blog. You will also have to use a cron job to make it automatic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericwilmoth Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Ok. I guess that'll be something i'll have to ask more about after getting things set up. I have no idea what a cronjob is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 A cron job is an automated way of running scripts on the server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtvoyles Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Just in case anyone comes across this in the future, Ping.fm will post over to MS from within WP via plugin thesedays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
