Readme File:

from ladynada I downloaded wp-autoblog 1.0 from WPMUDEV.ORG. The original author, Elliot C. Back at Elliott Back Blog Network has suspended development of the plugin. His message concerning all this is at wp-autoblog-a-syndication-plugin.

The Admin at the free WordPress blogs hosting site at wpBlogHost » Free WordPress Blog Hosting made this plugin available to bloggers. I needed a place to create my Kingdom of God aggregate blog on WordPress software. Unfortunately, there were two bugs in WP-Autoblog which caused some messages to be dated December 31, 1969 and some to be put into a category named, ARRAY.

I fixed those two bugs and the Admin put the new version 1.1 up for his bloggers.

I was not satsified that the category import was not working, so I began to work on fixing that problem. The Magpie Rss Parser was getting old, and not updated, and I decided to switch to Simple Pie Rss Parser. I found the bug on the category importing and began to work on other aspects of the program until it became clear that I was building a whole new program. The new version will be called feed2wxr and will include an export to WordPress WXR option. There will also be several options for attribution to the original blog.

In the meantime, I decided to go BACK to WP- Autoblog 1.1 and update it to use the simple pie parser and release it as WP-Autoblog 2.0 because it uses a different parser now.

If you need support or have questions or suggestions you can find me at several locations.

Tests on WPMU 1.2.4 where I test the latest feed2wxr on wpmu. Basically you will only see an aggregate blog there.

feed2wxr Support where I am setting up a support forum

Tests on WP 2.1.3 another testing blog on Wordpress 2.1.3
