I was testing out some different WordPress plugins for aggregating RSS feeds. My intention is to automate the retrieval of new blog entries from sites I really like. It’s not my intention to copy full articles and post them on this blog. It is my intention to aggregate titles and snippets and to then link to those blog entries on their sites, thus promoting their sites.
The uproar came when I was testing out wp-o-matic plugin last night, which published 70 blog entries from 7 different RSS feeds as my own content. I was testing out the plugin to see what it could do, and also didn’t know that anyone would notice, because this site gets very little traffic. However, it didn’t take long until the content police were all over me 
Anyways, I’ve cleaned it up, deleted all of the entries, etc, etc… But the point of this post is to state that there weren’t any bad intentions on my part. I was simply experimenting with some different RSS retrieval plugins, and I had no idea anyone would notice or pay attention to anything I was doing with this site. Apparently I was wrong I’ll need to be more careful with my software testing.
