AutoBlogger - Guide to Switching

Seamlessly incorporating regular AutoBlogger entries into an online journal is easier than one might think. This step-by-step guide will help make switching as easy as possible.

1. The Selection Process

To make the most of its AI capabilities, AutoBlogger requires a minimum of 15 entries to create a database from which properly to mimic your writing style. However, as many as 40 individual entries can be entered into the system files to increase how realistic your AutoBlogger-generated posts will be.

Please select these archived entries with care. Each must be at least 250 words long and a thoughtful representation of your typical colloquialisms, speech patterns, and emotional range. Musings about the meaning of life are good; shopping lists are bad.

Keep in mind that anyone with particularly "specialized" typing skills might want to err on the side of caution and input as many entries as possible so that AutoBlogger can pick up on any quirks. But then again, if you consistently use sTiCkY cApS, 1337-speak, or other various exaggerated forms of netspeak, perhaps it would be better if you allow AutoBlogger to make you seem more... literate. Just a thought.

2. Creating the Database

Once you have selected the posts which you find most representational of your writing style, the full html of each entry must be saved as individual .TXT files which then can be uploaded easily when AutoBlogger is first installed on your computer.

3. Personalizing AutoBlogger to Suit Your Needs

AutoBlogger's AI system can be even further individualized to make fake entries sound plausible. Optional personalizations include:

Time of Day - are you a night owl or an early bird? Select the time interval from a pull-down menu that best fits your unique posting habits. AutoBlogger will, of course, fudge its posting times to make them seem realistic and provide variety (and perhaps throw in the fluke 5 a.m. or 5 p.m. entry, just to spice things up).

Emo Measurement - are all your entries straightforward and to the point, or are you occasionally prone to putting up one-sentence posts cryptically hinting at how horrible your life is? Select your degree of emo-ness on a sliding scale so that AutoBlogger will know how much teenage angst is required.

Emoticon Preference - don't be fooled; the art of the smiley-face is subtle and nuanced. Do you prefer ":)" or ":-)" or ":o)" or even "=)"? And then there are the far more complex "^_^" and "o_o" expressions to contend with. AutoBlogger will allow you to input your personal preference for a variety of emotions; happy, sad, irritated, flirty, etc.

These settings and more can be specifically customized the first time you run AutoBlogger for added accuracy and a special touch of individuality.

4. Get Started Not Blogging

Once every menu has been adjusted to your satisfaction, step away from your computer and let AutoBlogger get to work. You'll be amazed by just how much it sounds like you!

You have a life. AutoBlogger helps you live it.™
