Just about a week ago I acquired Morpheed.com. I came across Morpheed.com, again last week, as I was looking through some of my thousands of bookmarks. As I was browsing through the site I noticed that it was listed for sale. So, I decided to buy it and see what I can turn it into.

What is Morpheed.com?

Morpheed is a RSS aggregator. In addition to headlines aggregation, the site provides job opportunities for freelancers by aggregating listings from variety of job related feeds and sites, as well as CSS tutorials. Morphed’s backend is Wordpress, which I was surprised to find out, because I never looked at Wordpress as a RSS aggregator tool. But in the end, Wordpress has come a long way in its development and now can qualify as almost an accomplished CMS (Content Management System), especially with its extendibility through plug-ins. Currently Morpheed runs on three separate installations of Wordpress. In addition, the headline categories are somewhat concentrated on specific companies (Apple, Google and Microsoft), instead of general terms like travel or sports.

What is next for Morpheed.com?

The first thing I am going to do is bring the site from operating on three independent Wordpress installations to one. This will make easier managing the various sections of the site (headlines, jobs and css), as well as adding other sections in the future without having to install Wordpress once again. Following that, I will restructure the headlines’ categories. Articles need to be better calcified and thus easier to browse. A contact and “include my feed” forms will be added as well.

After the above are completed, I will look into adding more sections to the site and a possible redesign.

More to come for Morpheed.com in the future. In the mean time go on Morpheed and see what is happening in the world.
