BuzzBoost - Free RSS to HTML Transformation Tool

 

BuzzBoost is a simple service that allows you to cross-promote the content of your feed — be it a blog, podcast or commercial newsfeed — any place where you can display HTML. For example, you can display the latest headlines from your blog on your Web site, your forum, a podcast site, or on a friend’s site. BuzzBoost is FeedBurner’s answer to RSS-to-HTML transformation.

BuzzBoost is really ideal for anyone who wants to use their feed content to gain exposure on the net. As you know, more exposure can often lead to more subscribers. So if you have several blogs or other sites that have their own feeds, BuzzBoost provides a simple way for you to cross-promote them to your non blog websites. Today, if you want people to see the latest entries from your blog, they need to actually read your blog or be subscribed to your feed. BuzzBoost provides other means of communicating and promoting content to your target audience and helps your content go further.

What are the technical requirements to use BuzzBoost?

BuzzBoost’s job is to redisplay your feed content anywhere you can copy and paste a short snippet of HTML code. The actual BuzzBoost code is just a short line of JavaScript that displays content items and information from a FeedBurner feed according to settings you provide. You get to control how BuzzBoost displays the following elements:

• Feed Title
• Item publication date
• Individual item headlines, headlines and plain text, or headlines and original HTML
• Plain text item excerpt length
• Your original site’s favicon, if it has one
• Link to download podcast or videoblog enclosures (if available)

To get started simply sign in to (or create) your FeedBurner account, select the feed you wish to “boost” from My Feeds and then configure the BuzzBoost service from the “Publicize” tab. The service is completely free.

Everyone seems to be pretty quick to complain about poor (or NO) service from Sponsors, and we often forget to praise those that are there for you when you need some help. I have spent the better part of this past week doing my pre-new-niche blog setup groundwork: checking out sites, finding the sponsor site (if there was one), listing who was under what type of billing system and their respective payout structures, promo tools and so on.

One of the sponsors I elected to add to my que is FemCash, as I want to promote their gorgeous artsy nude website: FEMJOY. By Thursday I was well along in my signing up and grabbing my links and banners, and whatever other goodies I could find, when I realized the link code for FEMJOY’s Latest Video Plugin wasn’t carrying my ID through properly. (it’s a wonderful plugin btw!) So I wrote an email and asked how I should put in my ID code. I had an answer back within an hour or two, with an answer on what I needed to do, and Max asked if I had signed in before copying out my codes. (For some reason you can see the linking code without signing in - but they don’t have your ID in them).

I thought I had, but evidently I hadn’t … and that simple question had me running back to make sure I had indeed saved the links correctly. After a bit of time had passed I realized I couldn’t make sense of their RSS feed link (seems I had to have a higher level of access), so I again wrote them, and Max was again quick to respond and help resolve the problem. So Kudos to FemCash for being so prompt with their webmaster support! Now all they need is to add a webmaster referral link I can use on all my Adult Resource sites and I’ll be really happy!

I’ve added five more free adult blog host sites for you to check out and possibly sign up to so you can get some additional blogs happening.

Eros Blog

Blog Sexy

BDSMlog

Fetishlog

and I Blog Adult

And in other site news I’m about to add a directory to Adult Blog Builder that will make it easier for me to control the volume of blog related links and resources I’ve gathered up over the past few months. So watch for it soon!

It seems that no matter what it is you want to have happen with your Wordpress program, you can find a plugin or code generator that will make the job easier and faster than you figuring out the coding on your own.  What started the hunt for a way a non-code savvy blogger could add RSS was a request from a client of mine wanting to know if he could create Wordpress PAGES that would display a specific feed per page. The idea being that he wants all of his hand written posts as the regular front page of postings, and then have individual pages that bring in specific sponsor hosted feeds using his affiliate code… that updates automatically. IE: A page for Hunkmoney RSS Feeds, another page for Fantasy Girl Revenue Feeds, and so on.

Now if my client were more code savvy, I’m sure he’d sit down and figure this all out on his own, but he isn’t. And using the RSS Widget feature in the latest versions of Wordpress is an “almost” solution. But he doesn’t just want a few rss feed titles on the sidebar. So after spending an hour or so with google and refining my search terms a few times, I found this site: Feed Commander. Feed Commander has a delightfully FREE RSS code generator! You input the RSS URL you want to use, define the display properties, preview your creation, and if you’re happy with it, generate the particular code you need for your website: javascript, asp, php, etc.

Now all my client has to do is create a new PAGE in the admin area, go to code view, and paste in the code and save/publish it, and he should be good to go.

I do have to caution you on over using this fun RSS tool from Feed Commander, as bringing in a lot of RSS content from other sites can be a not so good thing from an SEO standpoint. Use it in moderation, as a variation of ways to offer up quality content to your readers. Try to monitor the actual hits those pages receive vs your upsells for a month or more. Then decide if the feature is actually a benefit or a burden to your blog offerings. You may find that just using the simple sidebar RSS widget to display a few post titles gets a better click through ratio. But by all means, experiment and have fun!

Well, it finally happened: You have waaaay too many blogs to manage in whatever time frame you’ve given yourself daily to attend to their needs, or maybe you just need to give your creative muse a break … whatever the reason(s) … You Need a Blog Writer! So who’s out there that is Adult niche savvy and willing to take on the grunt work of sizing pics and writing appropriate copy and making sure the links work and that your posts appear when they are supposed to?

I know a few folk in the industry, besides myself, that are writers for hire and up to the daily posting challenge, but most of them are booked up with writing gigs that extend beyond their normal life expectancy. However, there is hope of getting some writing help!  Jeff (aka RDude), of Porn-n-Prose has recently hung up his shingle and is currently taking on additional clients.  Jeff also handles requests for short stories, and other text media besides blog posts. I’ve seen his work, as he has, and does, do postings for Gay Demon, and his prices are very reasonable. Now, no pushing and shoving, but I do suggest you hustle your bod over and check out his site Porn-n-Prose and order some blog posting services before he’s also overwhelmed with requests.
