Can I Post Blog/Updates to Multiple sites?

[KenRyan]

I have profiles on several blog/social networking sites and am currently manually updating most of them whenever I post something new.

How can I use AA (5.5) to automate this process? It would involve signing in to all the different sites, then posting the same information on each.

Thanks.

Hello,

If it requires same series of Keystrokes to login all the social networking websites and posting then you can create a task that uses 'Insert Keystrokes' command to perform the actions (i.e. signing in to website and posting the information). You can make use of variables for username, password and the information you want to post. Use wild card(*) in window title for e.g. *internet*. Save URL of different websites in a list variable and loop for same list variable to process different website in each iteration.

The text format of task would appear as follows,

1 Start Loop " List Variable my-list-variable"
2 Open "$my-list-variable$"
3 Keystrokes: Username in "*internet*"
4 Delay: (300 ms)
5 Keystrokes: [TAB] in "*internet*"
6 Delay: (300 ms)
7 Keystrokes: Password in "*internet*"
8 Delay: (300 ms)
9 Keystrokes: [ENTER] in "*internet*"
10 Delay: (300 ms)
11 Keystrokes: Information you want to post in "*internet*"
12 Delay: (300 ms)
13 Close Browser
14 End Loop

Hope that helps.

I don't think I explained it very well. I have 6 or 7 blog websites. If I write an article that would be of interest to all 7 sites, I'd like to be able to post that article to all the sites at once, instead of having to log in to each one and copy the article to each individual site.

Not all the sites have the same log-in information.

So what I'd need to do is first, get the text of the article into AA. I could put it on the clipboard and have it get clipboard. Then I need to loop the action of logging into site 1, posting the article (which might require different keystrokes on different sites) and logging out. It would do that for as many sites as I need it to.

Is that do-able?

Thanks again. Sorry for the delay.

Hello,

Yes, It is possible if the series of keystrokes to login the website and post the article are similar.

If you can provide URL of few of such websites along with login information and steps to post the article then we can create sample for reference.
