Is their a tool that shuffles paragraph order?

3 replies
Hi Warriors,

I've been using The Best Spinner and it's pretty great but there's just one thing it doesn't do that I would like to do if possible, which is shuffle the order of paragraphs.

Obviously, I don't want to shuffle the first and last paragraphs as they are the intro and conclusion.. but I have it so the middle paragraphs are each just a separate tip... so if I could shuffle their order easily it would be nice so I could spin the article a little more thoroughly.

Do any of you know a tool that could help me with this?

Thanks!

PS- Yes, I know it can be done manually! So no snide comments plz

    Circle,

    I have an excel spreadsheet here somewhere that does it. I did use it often a few years ago.
    I will hunt it down for you.

    Hey, sorry for posting in a slightly old thread but I thought it fits here anyway.
    I don't know how useful this is but anyway, I created this tool specifically for this purpose (I can't post links).

    I don't really know what the actual spinning programs are capable of so perhaps the time I spent on this was in vain but if not, then I hope this is useful.

    There are a couple of limitations though:
    • You can only reshuffle 6 paragraphs (memory issues on a shared hosting plan)
    • You need to have Javascript active (I guess this will be so in most cases)
    • The end result is with { | } spyntax in mind (you can always manually delete the first and last {} and use a search and replace function (e.g. in Notepad) to change the | symbols)
    • This isn't a limitation per se, but I've found Chrome to be the fastest browser to render the end result form
    This tool doesn't spin the actual content. Basically, what you do is:
    1. you copy and paste a paragraph into the first text box (this can and will probably be a spinned paragraph, of course)
    2. "Add another paragraph" to get another text box to paste another paragraph in, up to 6 paragraphs
    3. in the next text box, you can use token placeholders instead of the paragraphs (less confusion, less space, easier to read, etc...) or you can just click the "Auto-fill" button for all possible combinations
    4. then click the last button to give you your spyntax, which will appear in the bottom text box
    5. from here just copy paste it into your spinner program
    If all goes well, you should get a very long article which will end in spun articles with various shuffled paragraphs.

    I came across this thread cause I was looking to see if something like this existed but couldn't find anything. Maybe I didn't look well enough or maybe it doesn't, either way, hope it's useful to someone

    PS: I hope I'm not doing anything against the rules here. Sorry if I am
