Automating a blog - dinosaur770 - Jul 9, 2022

Sup guys ,

Trying to automate a blog (have not started coding it yet) but I am unsure as to which route to go. It will either be wordpress or blogger I will try to automate. Final goal is to make a script that will scrape content from a certain niche, then post it into a blog. Mind you that I will also have to remove any links and ads that may be there. I have been thinking of using Selenium and possibly BeautifulSoup. Haven't found a tutorial to fit my needs just yet since I am learning Selenium.

I didn't ask a question, simply said I did not know which route to go. In other words, I implied that I do not know what route to take and seeing people's opinions.

I did it in the past with Wordpress and RSS feeds for copy pasting.
Main issue back then was that I had to have a worker on board to do quick rewrites, since copy pasting is bad for SEO.
Now a days you can most likely have it done by an AI.

Yeah, I am going to do this with a script. Just wanted to see if anyone had any insights on that. I have used RSS feeds before, maybe a script that grabs an RSS feed and uses ML to spin the words into something else?

I think this will be the best option.
