Still have writers block? The last post less than useless? What do you do now? Well, you can cheat.

Copy and paste the following code and save it in a php file. Upload it to your server then access the script by typing:

http://www.yoursite.com/whatyoucalledthephpfile.php?keyword=yourkeyword.

Replace yourkeyword with a keyword of your choice, and the script will automagically write an article for you. Refresh, and it will change the article! If you want more than 1 keyword, put them in quotes, like this: "more than one keyword"

The script works by scraping content from google blogg search rss feeds.

 
<?php
if (!empty($_GET['keyword'])) {
 $keyword=$_GET['keyword'];
 $xmlContent = file_get_contents('http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch_feeds?hl=en&q='.urlencode($keyword).'&ie=utf-8&num=10&output=rss');
 $domdoc = new DOMDocument();
 $domdoc->loadXML($xmlContent);
 $items = $domdoc->getElementsByTagName('item');
 $contentString = '';
 foreach($items as $item){
 $description = $item->getElementsByTagName('description');
 $contentString .= preg_replace('/[^\w\s\.]/', '', strip_tags($description->item(0)->nodeValue));
 }
 $arrSentences = preg_split('/[\.\?\!\:]/', $contentString, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
 foreach($arrSentences as $key => $sentence){
 if(strlen($sentence) < 20){
 unset($arrSentences[$key]);
 }else{
 $arrSentences[$key] = trim($arrSentences[$key]);
 }
 }
 shuffle($arrSentences);
 echo implode('. ', $arrSentences).".\n";
}else{
 echo "Usage: ".$argv[0]." [keyword]";
}
?>
 
 

Warning!

This is ever so slightly black hat. Do not actually use the article on your blog if you care about your readers. Google will love all the lovely text, but your readers will think you have lost the plot and never come back.
