Hi Anthony. You say and I quote

Unfortunately the free blog software package does not include the additional features to add the Yahoo! Pipes as auto-feed posts.

Can you tell me what program I would use to get the job done? The free blog pipe is a great tool to have but if we can not use it and we can not get the rest of the tools we need to use it, it is just a waist offering. Many of us have learned a lot from Jeff and I for one am extremely great full for all the stuff that he has given free. This free pipes tool is one of the best so far but very frustrating to know we can not use it.

Some help would be appreciated.

Many thank

Robert

Jeff Johnson says: Sorry but pipes was really only meant to be used by my coaching club clients and their professional version of my seo blog software.

I mentioned to my blog readers as a tool for experienced users.

However, now we’ve stopped supporting the pipe altogether…. yahoo told us it was using too many resources from them so they throttled it back.

we’ve switched to new techniques that are still exclusive to my coaching club.

But there are pleny of free content and software available on my blog at:

This seems like a really useful and awesome tool but I can’t figure out how I get this onto my blog… Can someone help me with that?

I’m good with my computer but this internet stuff and coding confuses the hell out of me .

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I’m using your wordpress 2.51 and yahoo pipes together along with wp-o-matic. It is sort of crashing the site. The site comes up blank. The pipes seem to be pulling the feeds but the page post them over and over.

Any ideas?

I do not have any possible solutions for your error. I do have a suggestion though. Try changing up some of your keywords in the Yahoo Pipes. Rarely does this occasion occur, but some keywords can pull invalid items in a feed. I’ve never used the WP-O-Matic plugin, so it’s hard for me to help you any further.

I am confused about how one would get the "unique" RSS feed that your custom pipes will produce to drop into my wordpress blog. I see how to input my keyword and run the tool to produce the results but I don't see the rss code that I copy to input onto my wordpress blog. Can you provide instructions as to where I would find this special code. Thanks Donald Anthony Montalbano says: Unfortunately the free blog software package does not include the additional features to add the Yahoo! Pipes as auto-feed posts. Our premium version of the blog software does include that feature, among many others, but is only available to Jeffâ€™s coaching club. Currently his coaching club is closed, but do stay in tune with UndergroundTrainingLab.com as well as Jeffâ€™s emails. Details on how you can get the premium blog software and access to his coaching club are sure to comeâ€¦

Hi,

I love the pipes, but all the searches I tested get a technorati error at the bottom of the page. Even your Jeff Johnson example shows the same error. Can that be fixed?

Also, If I use your pipes, will it post on a daily basis? Several times a day? How often. I use other sources for RSS feeds but I like what you have put together. However, I want to make sure that the pipes are updated at least once daily if not more often.

Thanks and great free tools.

Totally Free Blog Tools says: Here's what one of my guys has to say about the yahoo pipes tool: "Technorati had updated their search schematics. Yahoo Pipes recognized the error and the lack of being able to pull the information from the RSS feed generated by Technorati. So I made the necessary updates to the pipe which has resolved the issues pipes was outputting. Second the RSS feed is dynamically generated every time the pipe is run, or executed from a different site. So based on the keywords and the sites related to those keywords, the RSS feed will always have new content. If you are calling the Pipes RSS Feed into a Wordpress site using a plugin (such as FeedWordpress), the plugin will check the feed for new items. If there are new items in the feed it will create posts for each item. So if you set the time interval in the Wordpress plugin to check often, chances are it will frequently create posts on your blog. Here's a time line idea of how the process works: 1.) Wordpress Plugin calls Pipes RSS Feed 2.) Pipes RSS Feed executes and adds any new posts to the feed based on the keywords 3.) Wordpress Plugin publishs all new items in the Pipes RSS Feed 4.) First 3 steps are repeated at the given interval specified in the Wordpress Plugin Hopefully this answers your questions. "
