Can This Be Done?

I'm wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction or give me some suggestions to acocmplish the following:

I service a number of blogs with content including articles, comments, videos, etc. I would like to use some form of automated posting software similar to BlogHatter, WP Robot, AutoBogged, etc. Then I need to add another function to the mix.

Say for example, I have an article I want to post on 50 different blogs using one of the above-mentioned automated systems (or some other system) but I want to be able to change a small portion of the content on each blog so it is different - such as local info like the city or state name. Is there a way to accomplish this - that is post an article to numerous blogs with each article being differentiated with the name of a city - state - or other local identification? In one respect, its like using a mail merge program where you insert a new name and address on the same letter.

Is there some software already available that might help with this or would this require some new programming to accomplish?

Again, any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks - Bob M

    It's possible, but you probably have to build it yourself.

    I have done something like this before on wordpress, where each site had dynamic vars set via the wp admin area; like state, city, etc
    then any time the content wanted to use one of these dynamic vars you just put a tag, like [state] and a custom wordpress plugin was used to the replace the tags with the dynamic var.

    I don't use these guys for anything other than tags, but I believe their BlogPiG suite has all that and more: BlogPiG.com – Free AutoBlog Plugins

    I might be able to help you. You need a template, which I can do with perl easily. The problem would be how would I access your data. PM to talk more if the blogpig guys aren't what you are looking for.
