Overview

The blog syndication tool in SoCast is designed for centralized content workflows. This is especially useful for large broadcast companies that want to share or syndicate content from one website or station to multiple other websites or stations. Please note that this tool is separate from the RSS Subscription Settings.

Syndication Notes

  • The syndicated version of a blog category automatically updates from the original source.
  • Syndicated versions cannot be edited or deleted, but they can be hidden if needed.
  • Custom HTML and some widgets are synced from the original blog post.
  • Sidebar and sticky blog post displays are not synced and must be configured separately on each destination account.

  1. Navigate to Website > Syndicated Blog Categories in your SoCast dashboard.
