People without websites or blogs can also subscribe to your RSS feed to read your new updated content. Example: MY Yahoo!

It's incredibly easy to set up your syndication feed and start sending all your great articles out to the world wide web.

Step 1. Login to your blog account.



Step 2. Click on the Settings link located on the right bottom corner of your management control panel.



Step 3. Click on the Site Feed link on the top navigation bar.



Step 4. Choose Yes to turn your RSS feed on. Then click on the Save Changes button at the bottom of the form. Your Site Feed (RSS)
( http://blogs.scriptologist.com/rss.php?w=filmboss ) will appear at the top of the page

Step 5. Now click on the Entries link on the top navigation bar. Next, click on the Send Pings link on the right side of the navigation bar.



Step 6. There is a list of weblog indexing services on the Send Pings page. You can check off all the boxes next to each weblog service and click on the Send Pings button at the bottom of the form.

Congratulations! You've just syndicated your content. Your articles will now be distributed on blogs and websites that are interested in publishing and linking to your content.

Note: Sending pings to weblog indexing services is a great way to attract new visitors to your weblog. If your ping to a service is successful, your weblog URL will be listed on their website. You should only send pings if you have made updates to your weblog since your last ping. Also, some services may make you wait for a short period between pings. Please be patient - pinging can sometimes take up to a minute.

Weblog indexing services are search engine directories for syndication feeds. People interested in reading or publishing your articles can pick up your feeds from these directories.

Scriptologist.com syndicates article headlines and abstracts.

All questions and comments are welcome!

2006-Aug-17 - Marketing Your Screenwriting, Acting, and Filmmaking Blogs

Getting people to read your blog takes some action on your part. Of course, the Scriptologist.com staff is reading all the blogs in our network and looking for the best ones to add to our newsletter and feature on the home page of Scriptologist.com. We're also adding blog sites to the Scriptologist Blogs Directory . You can click here to add your blog to the directory if your blog is not already listed.

One of the fastest ways to get people to read your blog is to use the send-to-a-friend feature located underneath your blog articles. This feature allows you to email your blog article links to everyone you know. It's also considered to be viral marketing because it enables you to send your message to many people at once.

When you tell people to check out your blog, will they really read it? They will probably say, 'Yeah, I'll take a look at it.' But they never do.When you use the send-to-a-friend feature, you know they'll open their email and click on the link to your blog. But please don't abuse this tool by spamming people you don't know.

If your blog template doesn't have this feature, you can add it to the code in your template. If you don't know how to add the feature, then please don't hesitate to contact me and I'll add it for you.... eric@scriptologist.com

2006-Aug-9 - Exposure For Filmmakers and Screenwriters

There are some very good bloggers in the Scriptologist Blog Network. In fact, I think the quality level of the blogs in our network far exceeds the quality of other networks on the Net.

Why is this network so good? It must be the fact that the filmmaking niche attracts extremely creative people. Screenwriters, actors, cinematographers, and directors know how to express themselves intelligently.

This is the right network for filmmakers and screenwriters who want to promote their skills and collaborate with each other. We're reading all the blogs in this network, and we take the time to help our bloggers get exposure.

If your blog is good, we'll feature it on the home page of Scriptologist.com. We're also featuring blogs in our newsletter.

All ideas on improving this network are welcome. Please post your comments on my blog.

2006-Jul-28 - Start Networking With Filmmakers, Screenwriters, and Actors.

We are very impressed with the quality of the blogs in our network. We believe that more filmmakers, actors, and screenwriters are starting to discover the benefits of blogging.

There are many ways to use your blog as a powerful tool to promote yourself.

1. Screenwriters can post samples of their writing.
2. Production companies can list their film projects.
3. Actors can upload headshots and resumes.

Use your blog to connect with other filmmakers, screenwriters, and actors. Read the blogs created by other members of this network and post a comment under their articles. Posting a comment under someone’s article is the first step you can take to make a connection with people who share your interests.

Scriptologist Blogs is a niche blog network for filmmakers, screenwriters, and actors who are serious about their craft. Our network has all the tools you need to create an impressive promotional Web site for yourself.

Creating a blog is extremely easy and doesn't require any real technical knowledge. In fact, it's as easy as posting a message on an Internet-based message board.

Now is the time to start a blog and create new opportunities for yourself. Take the first step. Make connections with other filmmakers. Tell everyone you know about your blog.
