Hi all,

The first bundle, the SEO/SEM bundle is, I know, exactly what folks have been looking for and it has numerous new and useful features. Indeed, its a solution that enhances your own blogging endeavours by ensuring dynamic SEO and removing those ongoing SEO hassles.

But of course it has more than just ready-rolled SEO features. It also provides detailed controls over blog automation by supporting aggregation of feeds (and regex filtering of content) so that your automated posts are actually presentable, readable, and useful to your audience. Not everyone cares to supplement their own posts with syndicated content, but if you do, this bundle has it down to a fine art.

It's supposed to be as easy as installing WP itself, and it appears to be living up to expectations. ;)

There are a couple of features that will be added to the installer in the next version like Technorati feed searching and auto-cron, which should really make the entire process even easier. Just a couple of keywords, and you're away :)

If you're into automation/aggregation/syndication..
Remember to keep an eye on your feeds.. low quality feeds mean your audience is going to run in the opposite direction. Check them daily until you're satisfied of consistent quality.

My rule of thumb is: Assuming I want automated content, I just install, then start reading. I should be engaged by what I see and feel informed by it. If not, I have a bad feed (or several).

Keep well folks, and enjoy the beta. :)
