Summary

This chapter continues with activities that automate time-consuming processes. You've also learned a few more tricks, using Yahoo! Pipes to shape RSS feeds. Above all, you learned how to build relationships with forums and, therefore, made it more socially engaging.

To refresh on the main points, we've covered the following:

You can use posts and comments instead of a dedicated forum

• Forums require a great deal of resources and moderation

• bbPress can be used as a stand-alone forum or it can be paired with BuddyPress

• You can push WordPress content to Twitter automatically

• You can enable multiple RSS feeds for your site

• Regex is extremely powerful in moulding your content

• FeedWordPress is versatile in that you can use it as a relay plugin

Up until this point, you have only grazed on the topic of memberships through the concept of gamification and integrating forums. There is much more to explore when adding a membership section to your site, so we'll save that for the next chapter.
