Automatically updating your Blogger Blog daily - A solution
Whilst digging around the blogger help pages, I noticed that blogger has a bug that means if you future date your posts, it will still post them up.. unlike my b2 blogger for Beyond Bedroom Guitar where I can post in advance if I want to and they only appear when the timestamp has passed.
So this got me thinking - if I can post to the blog using email.. then can I send emails to the blog using a free autoresponder (or one of my own… paid versions!!).
So I tested it quickly and wowser it works fine.
The routine would be;
Set up an autoresponder with your intended blog posts at the intervals you want whilst your away on vacation, at a seminar, or whatever. Then add your blogger secret email address to the autoresponder subscriptions when you want the posting to start.
If each message was topical for a niche and had affiliate links in it, your blog readers would not miss out whilst you were away and if you’re setting up a moneyblog the whole shebang could be automated and you only need to update it once in a while - say every two/four weeks with fresh content.
The blog entries could be articles perloined from others with your own twist.
The possibilities are endless.

- Two autoresponders - one with niche affiliate type info, one for an article or general piece… both publishing that day (keeping the search engines happy at the fresh content).
- Use a bit of php to autogenerate content in your blog from RSS/Search feeds.. Say twice a week with the subject as News on Niche for Date)… These are some of the headlines for blah on (Date).
