Does Pixels (faa) Support Auto-import Of Blogspot Posts ??

It would be nice if pixels.com (FAA) would import posts from my existing blog done at blogspot.com. Then one wouldn't have to recreate the post twice. Anyone know if this is possible or if it is being considered?

Rich,

The Artistwebsite.com page allows the ability for RSS feeds. Can your blogspot accommodate to receive them?

Thanks Jeffrey

Can my blogspot.com blog accomdate to receive them? I think you are asking me.....If you post here on FAA will my blogspot receive them? Unclear but that's what I am reading from your question. Could you expound on that reply please?

Rich,

I do not use blogspot.

My thought process is, if you blog on your Artiswebsite.com (AW) page things will show up on the FAA page, because they mirror one another with respect to blogging. If your blogspot page has the ability to receive and incorporate RSS feeds, you can set it up to receive any blogs written from your AW page via RSS. This would prevent you from having to post twice.

Would that work?

Here's the screen shot from the bottom of my AW page showing the RSS options we have available at this time.

No not for me, as I like the format used by Google's platform. I'd rather artistswebsite pulled from my blog, but that can be a discussion for in the future. I wonder if this has been brought up before and discussed, rejected?

I understand, Rich.

There are changes to the website on the horizon, we'll have to wait and see what is revealed. In the interim, though, please feel free to make that suggestion on the below thread. All inputs are pushed up to the owner of the site from there.

Hi, Rich,

No - you can't auto-import your Blogspot posts to FAA. Even if you could, I'm sure you'd lose all your Blogger formatting, which I'd find very problematic. I use my FAA blog only to post a link to my 'real' Blogger blog. Like this -

I don't think anyone ever sees them here, though.

My understanding is that Google 'penalizes' users for duplicate content, so automatically posting your blog posts in two places may not be the best plan, even if it were possible.

Had to rewrite my reply, I wasn't aware that G places that restriction on a writer, but I will take that into consideration before I post that suggestion. I suppose when I think about it, my blog sells a lot less than my images posted here anyway.

Thank you Jeffrey and Wendy

 

Good luck, Rich -- hope you find a solution that works for you.
