Use Group Posting for blog backup
December 27, 2005 by Dmitry
utterdoul about “Group Posting” feature in BlogJet:
“Most bloggers will simply have a blog or two and may not find this feature too useful. But it can be used to post to a ‘backup blog’, a secondary location that is a mirror of your primary blog (in terms of content at least) but hosted on a seperate service. So in case your primary is down for some reason, you can direct people to the secondary location. Ad if you have domain redirection, thats works just perfect!”

Hi, There are a great features in BlogJet. However, when group posting, how are categories selected. Or is there a default set of categories. Please advise.
Zarrar: there’s matching by category name. If blog A has categories “Stuff” and “Programming”, and blog B has categories “Programming” and “Other things”, and you are writing a post for blog A where you select category “Programming”, it will be posted under this matching category to both blogs. If you select “Programming” and “Stuff”, it will be posted under those categories to blog A, and under “Programming” category to blog B.
So basically, if I am posting to 100 blogs, and they all have the same categories, then the category selected during content writing is the one that becomes default for all blogs. Correct.
Another question is that I am using Drupal, which has the ability to create free tags, allowing one to enter a new category during content creation. Since content in being created in BlogJet, I was not able to see a similar dialog box, or entry option to enter a new category. Is there such an option to create Drupal free tags?
