I noted in yesterdays blog, that I wanted to find a different content source for my small business consulting website bestbreedmarketing.com, that I could filter the input into. As a small business startup myself, I need something with no cost or inexpensive that automatically updates itself.

I chose:

-Yahoo’s Pipes.
-Feedzilla

Pipes is a powerful composition tool to aggregate, manipulate, and mashup content from around the web.

I viewed their short intro video, and searched for a small business Pipe, selected on, cloned it to be my own (which is part of the purpose) and renamed it.

You can see the result on my blog page at:  bestbreedmarketing.com

Feedzilla

I chose Feedzilla for much of the same reasons, and I liked the scrolling content headers and the general format of the feed.   It took me a bit to figure out how to load the pre-made html from their site.  I moved an html widget into my sidebar, pasted in the code, and it worked right away.

ithemes Builder:

I also want to compliment the team over at ithemes, for their fine WordPress template development tool, Builder.  Chris and Cory have done a fabulous job and provide excellent support.
