Website Automation Thread
 

Ok, so obviously these days adding auto updating features to a website is key. What are some you are using:

Daily galleries
POTD
POTH
RSS

I haven't spent much time on my website but, if I was going to I'd:

1. Continue using Rome and Informa java packages to pull in RSS feed URLs stored in a database that auto-update via a cron job and get written to static HTML snippets.

2. I'l like to do number one for adult program RSS feeds.

3. Write something to grab new sponsor hosted galleries and actually schedule them by some random date into the site.

4. Continue using a cron task and php script to auto-create the google site map.

5. Build something to allow users to create an account and schedule whatever RSS feed or content by category they want to be scheduled for their home page -- have that for news, already, but it's not quite there yet.

....

I'm sure there's a ton more, though there's only so many hours in the day and so many other projects to do. Guess I can only focus on what I think has the best potential for payoff, and since I suck at marketing websites, right now coding the above for other projects is more cost effective -- however, automation is key, regardless.

Good ones.
