Excellent post Kurt

For those who use Wordpress, it's very easy to add your curated content there automatically, in one of two ways.

1) To the sidebar, as an always-updating display of recent curated items. This is done with the RSS Widget which is included with Wordpress. Appearance => Widgets - drag the RSS widget to your sidebar, then add the RSS URL that Scrubz creates.

2) To your blog as posts - each individual curated item from the Scrubz RSS is added to your blog as a new post. This can be done with a number of plugins. Many are paid ( Autoblogged.com for example ) but some are free. The old standby is FeedWordpress. There's a newer one I haven't tried called WPeMatico that looks promising. It's based on the WP-O-Matic plugin which is excellent, but is sadly no longer updated.

Bottom line is this gives you a way to update your WP blog with genuine, unique content without having to use the WP admin interface.
