What is Syndicate Kahuna?
Syndicate Kahuna is a “Content Syndication Blog Network”. It automates updating of blogs with fresh, relevant contents.
Once you are signed up with Syndicate Kahuna, you will receive relevant topics to your blog, which are all human reviewed based on the categories and/or keywords that you choose when signing up. By adding a php script to your blog root, you will receive these fresh topics.
What about duplicate content?
You may say that these might cause penalization from Google and other search engines for duplicate content. However, Syndicate Kahuna assures that their authors often submit several versions of the same article, to provide more unique content to the Syndicate Kahuna blog network. Further, they utilize a blog rotation system, that is not all blogs receive the same content.

TextPattern, otherwise known as TXP, is a free, flexible, elegant, easy-to-use content management system for all kinds of websites, even weblogs. Although it is a great blogging cms, there aren’t many good templates and themes available for use. That’s why I made a compiled links for some of the good sites where you can find TXP themes and templates.
1. Tempate Panic - You can find one available theme for TextPattern which is named Textpattern in Maroon. Textpattern in Maroon is a Textpattern template based on a Wordpress theme, Fadtastic Theme by Andrew Faulkner. It has the liquid main column and fixed side columns.
