Your Codebank Invitation!
I'm inviting you to join the Codebank right now! It's filled with complete scripts, tools, code, tutorials, and programmers and designers to help you.
WordPress by nature is a great tool for building automated sites. With just about every programming language able to interface with the xml-rpc or atom remote publishing options it’s just silly not to automate posting of your content to wordpress. Now thanks to the hard work of someone else you can have a blog set up in minutes where every category is a unique domain.

The plugin has the following features:
Main Features
- Setup main categories as subdomains
- Setup main pages as subdomains
- Tie pages to categories so they only appear under that category or subdomain
- Pick a different theme for each subdomain than the main site’s theme
- Sitelist widget, a sidebar widget that lists the subdomains of the site
- Categories widget, a sidebar widget that lists the categories of that subdomain
So here is how you use this to *cough* suggest *cough* that you aren’t up to any fishy spamming or anything else untoward. You just have to keep your “CATEGORIES” off the main menu on your “root” blog. You don’t want to link off to any of them so you can do whatever you want.
Now mind you this takes a little more work than just pumping out a blog. But with a little programming work you could automate all your posting to dozens and dozens of “sites” from a single install of wordpress.

Why would this be considered blackhat?
Ray – is there a definition of black hat that everything needs to pass through?
In my mind it’s anything that can be automated or used just outside the box to benefit your rankings.
In this case it’s hundreds of subdomains from a single install with out the hassle of setting them up like you have to do with wordpress mu for example. Combine it with an autoposter or see if it works with one of the rss posters and I’d say you have a winner.
sweet, thanks for the great response
