Best way to populate front page with content?

[Chupin]

I've been posting front page news on my project websites about once every 3 days, trolling google and rss feeds for fresh "news" to post in order to engage users and keep fresh content rolling for Google.

This gets to be a pain in the ass and at this point, after doing it every single day for months, is becoming a chore. How does everyone handle posting current news type content to their front page?

Automation.

WP Robot's RSS Feed and WordAi modules...

If you want to get real custom, get a developer that creates a custom version for you, and all you have to do is 'approve' and it sends it off to your site. If you are doing repetitive tasks daily which a bot can accomplish on a cron job, you might as well be doing manual labor.​

If you are using wordpress, MyCurator WordPress content curation Plugin works pretty well for what you are doing. It's free too.

If I curate posts in this manner is duplicate content going to become an issue? I don't necessarily care if the posts rank, but I don't want duplicate content hurting the overall value of the main page.

Thanks again for the suggestion, MoneyMike, the plugin is $$$.
