So many of you have no clue as to what a real blog is.....

I started out as E/N webmaster (E/N means everything and nothing at all) Do you know of any true E/N sites anymore?

Classic examples.... the old consumptionjunction front page, stile project, mental ernie, red brain...

these sites were the true definition of blogs before blog was a word, everything now is just rss feed fodder and the same from site to site.

Be original, post your own thoughts, do something lil different. Stand out from the rest.

Think you can do it.... prove it and I'll share some true E/N, old school blog links with you

Crazy Fucked Up Shit I tell ya

If you do blogs you have to spend a lot of time updating them

that sounds like the words of a lazy, unsuccessful man.

i did a tester blog, for petite teens (not even a 'niche' really!, niche would have been better) 1 year ago... it's 100% hand-updated, keyword rich (researched all the keywords thoroughly), was updated 4 times a week for 4 months, now once a month.. got listed in about 10 blog directories, made let's say 10 hard link trades... this 1 blog does about $700 a month now with virtually 0 maintenance.

i spent about 20 hours total in making the posts and trading links.. now i spend about 10 minutes a month adding that 1 post...

Maybe more.

About 30 TLD 100% handwritten blogs since that was the number that you [kman] suggested as well as a couple other webmasters when I asked how many blogs to run.

Dude how the fuck do I put morphed feeds into a blog, is there a solution that doesn't involve editing templates. Like a %%morphed%% string in the blog post that can pull the feeds in?

When people talk about blogs that are rss fed I assume the posts can be rss [morphed] fed not just the lame widget rss display. I would appreciate any opinions on how to implement this in the most simple fashion. Or do I just need to learn magpie?

Install http://wordpress.org/tags/feedwordpress and then just add in the RSS Feed(s) to the plugin and it will automatically update. We use Kman for our feeds and they are top notch. If you need any help hit me up tomorrow and I can get you set up.
