Is it possible to set up a BO blog so that posts can be re-posted in a random manner on a set schedule? For example, on a blog with 20 posts it would be nice to set up a schedule so that a random post gets posted again every day so it looks like there is fresh content on the blog.
If this is not possible it might be a nice feature to add for a future release. |

| How can you auto-repost the olderst post? I don't see that option under the edit blog control. |

I was reading through some more forum posts and it looks like this one describes exactly what I'm trying to do:
http://support.cheapestwebsoftware.com/viewtopic.php?t=2076
So instead of doing random posts, BO starts from the oldest post and moves forward, which is actually fine with me. I shouldn't have used the word "random". I just want a way to load up some blog posts and have them change automatically so my blog always looks different every few days.
Anyhow, I can't find instructions on how to do this so can you please explain or point me to where the instructions are? Thanks! |

hi there, as i explained there is no random possibility..
You can make the script auto republish oldest post after X days, by simply going to the blog settings and in the field "Resubmit Posts" put a value..

Hi, as I said in my last post I should not have used the word "random".
Can you please confirm that these are the correct steps:
1. Under Admin Controls choose "Manage Blogs".
2. Choose a blog and select "Edit Blog".
3. Enter a nunber next to "Resubmit Posts".
So if I enter the number 3, every 3 days the oldest post will be republished to the top of my blog, correct?
I just want to make sure I understand this before I do it. Thanks. |

hi there,
yes, if you set the field to 3, every 3 days that there are no new posts published, script will pick the blog's oldest post and republish it

Excellent! Thank you!
I'd be curious to know from you or other users if doing this has any impact (positive or negative) on SEO. |

| Can I ask one more question on this topic: If I have a post I've made sticky so it's always at the top of my blog will using "Resubmission" effect this? I would prefer for a sticky post to stay at the top while older posts get re-published beneath it. |
