WP Autoblog Plugin Features

This plugin basically converts RSS, ATOM or XML feeds into Wordpress posts. This plugin has several features which include;

  • Automatic publishing
  • RSS .92, 1.0, 2.0 and Atom support
  • Multiple categories
  • Cronless cron jobs
  • Optional source attribution
  • Optional find and replace
  • Optional excerpt republishing

In common usage it could be used to run an aggregator site where a collection of your favorite feeds can be posted to your Wordpress blog (if the terms of the feed creators allow this).
