Hey Calvin...Looks like you're making great progress! Sorry for the delay, I wasn't ignoring you...I read your post, then forgot to reply. I apologize for the delay.

Yeah, I'll post it on the 20th.

I would still mix it up, but in general, you may want to use bigger chunks of text. This is because of the way the RSS scrapers work, which is by keyword. The more text you include, the more likely your stuff will be scraped and used on other sites, which is the main goal of a blackhole.

Actually, I mean both. There's any number of ways to include RSS pheeds and didn't get into detail. The key is just to get them on "other places".

I would use Godfather because I already have it installed. It can be used to:
1. Take RSS, convert to email, then use with other services that allow posting via email. See the recent thread by Bluesky (Karsten) for services that allow email posting. This is just another option for those that want it, but isn't necessary.
2. If you have a "regular" site that allows FTP, you can use Godfather to create sites (using different "lists"), then use the Moverz Tuel to "move" these sites to different hosts.
Simply, use #1 for third party services that allow email posting. Use #2 for hosting you have FTP access to.
