Adding More Interesting Content Using inlineRSS

June 18th, 2006

I’m suffering from writer’s block at the moment, so I had to come up with a solution quickly to keep content fresh here. I found a plugin called inlineRSS, which enables you to embed RSS feed headlines into WordPress posts, pages, or even on the WordPress template.

So over the next little while, I will be testing it out as soon as I can find a feed that works with this which shouldn’t be too hard.

    We all get writers block. Sometimes I can write and create for days then all of a sudden, nothing, notta, nill.

    Why would you want another sites content served up on your site? Sure it would provide content but what if the feed breaks or their site is down? Does that mean the error would also show up on your site?

    Maybe have a set featured theme for your blog and a set date for when you post it? Example you could talk about your templates on a weekly basis. That would give you a few days to compose your entry and once it’s done, you could post it?

    Of course if something strikes you to post before your scheduled featured post, go for it but having a set theme and a post day or time could help retain or even bring in new readers. Just a thought.

    In the end, it’s your site, do as you please. That’s what I do :)

    you’re probably right about adding outside content…I’m just toying around with ideas right now
