hey it's February 14th Happy Valentine's
00:00:02
Day if you're not watching this on
00:00:04
Valentine's Day then Happy Valentine's
00:00:06
Day anyways who cares right everybody
00:00:07
gets a Happy Valentine's Day I wish I
00:00:09
could send you chocolates I really do I
00:00:11
can't though but what I can send you is
00:00:13
an update to Zim writer so let's dive
00:00:15
into the update and tell you what's new
00:00:17
I think you'll like this I have not yet
00:00:19
put this update on the the website yet
00:00:21
so we're just reading the change log in
00:00:22
this text file here just some random bug
00:00:25
fixes in the update and then also with
00:00:27
using profile equals and side of the
00:00:30
bulk writer when you use that tag there
00:00:32
were some previous bugs with WordPress
00:00:35
date scheduling so all that's been fixed
00:00:36
now I've also um adjusted the perplexity
00:00:41
models inside of open router and also
00:00:44
inside of perplexity perplexity is
00:00:46
discontinuing the Llama online models
00:00:49
and they're all going to a sonar model
00:00:52
that's just what it's called now so
00:00:53
there's for open rter that's the O we
00:00:56
have sonar online and sonar reasoning
00:00:58
online and then for perplexity we have
00:01:01
sonar online soar R online and then we
00:01:04
have Pro variations of those also the
00:01:06
pro does Deeper research it has more
00:01:08
citations but it's two to three times
00:01:11
more expensive than the non-pro version
00:01:13
for whatever reason it's only available
00:01:15
through perplexities API and not through
00:01:18
open rouer right now I'm assuming that
00:01:20
will change in the near future the other
00:01:21
thing I found is this reasoning model
00:01:24
does not work for some reason on open
00:01:27
rer I I would get the citations back Zim
00:01:29
right would get the citations back but
00:01:31
it wouldn't bring any data back so I
00:01:33
don't know maybe it's just a temporary
00:01:34
bug with open router but it does work
00:01:37
through perplexities integration right
00:01:39
now so we added those things and what
00:01:41
you're going to have to do because Zim
00:01:43
Rider does not do this automatically if
00:01:45
you've created a custom outline and
00:01:47
added models equal and then write your
00:01:50
model in here if you had the the
00:01:51
previous llama models you're going to
00:01:53
have to update your custom outline
00:01:55
accordingly and same thing with deep
00:01:58
research if you have some profile saved
00:02:00
with deep research you're going to have
00:02:02
to load up select which new model you
00:02:04
want to use because the old models are
00:02:06
no longer available so we changed that
00:02:09
stuff I've also added a time zone option
00:02:12
so I I've been telling you for about a
00:02:14
month now I have this news course that's
00:02:17
coming soon and it oh man it's going to
00:02:18
be freaking good it is really going to
00:02:20
be good we're making a news site using
00:02:22
Zim riter and the stuff that I've
00:02:25
figured out I can't wait to share with
00:02:27
you so one thing I found out when I was
00:02:30
creating that course is there's a
00:02:33
problem with date scheduling my goal
00:02:35
with a new site is sometime before lunch
00:02:39
I'll go and I'll ceue up 10 articles for
00:02:42
that news site just to publish that
00:02:45
given day I'll wake up today I'll queue
00:02:47
up 10 articles for my news site and I'll
00:02:50
have Zim writer write them and I don't
00:02:51
want them all published immediately I
00:02:53
want them spaced out like an hour or
00:02:55
something like that so I would do that
00:02:56
today and then i' I'd wake up tomorrow
00:02:58
and I'd queue up 10 more hours articles
00:03:00
and I wake up the next day and CU
00:03:01
because these are news articles so I
00:03:03
can't just queue up 500 articles for the
00:03:05
entire month starting today and and just
00:03:07
you know set and forget I have to cue
00:03:09
these up every single day because the
00:03:11
news
00:03:12
changes when you do that and you want
00:03:14
the stuff published that particular day
00:03:17
then a couple more factors come into
00:03:20
play first factor is what time zone are
00:03:23
you in and what time zone is your server
00:03:25
in and there was not an option in Zim
00:03:28
writer before to set a server time but
00:03:30
now there is so if you go to the options
00:03:32
menu and you click on setup WordPress
00:03:34
you'll now see a WordPress time zone and
00:03:36
whatever this is whatever your time zone
00:03:39
over here is needs to be set you don't
00:03:41
have to you're just making a site where
00:03:42
you're writing three years worth of
00:03:45
content and queuing it all up on a drip
00:03:46
feed schedule then this doesn't really
00:03:48
matter but if you do want stuff
00:03:50
published today then what you should do
00:03:52
is go into WordPress click on your
00:03:53
settings click on General and set this
00:03:56
time zone accordingly so I would set
00:03:59
this time zone to whatever your time
00:04:00
zone is where you live okay so if you're
00:04:02
like for me I'm in I have New York time
00:04:04
I'm in Ohio but that's New York time so
00:04:06
UTC minus5 so I'll set this to minus5
00:04:09
and I'll come over here and you can load
00:04:11
your site and by default this will be
00:04:13
UTC 0 you'll just come on over here and
00:04:15
set this to whatever UTC you're at so
00:04:18
five and you'll just click update time
00:04:20
zone that's all you got to do now what
00:04:22
will happen is when Zim writer uh writes
00:04:25
your articles the time will appear
00:04:27
correctly but then also this will play a
00:04:30
big factor in terms of scheduling a
00:04:33
certain number of posts each day so 10
00:04:35
posts a day this will help uh adjust the
00:04:40
time accordingly because what I was
00:04:41
Finding was when I was writing 10 a day
00:04:44
and I hadn't synced up my server time it
00:04:46
would publish three of them
00:04:48
instantaneously the time zones were off
00:04:50
now the other thing you want to keep in
00:04:52
mind and this is a very nuanced thing if
00:04:54
you're doing news sites okay the way Zim
00:04:58
writer calculates this stuff let's
00:05:01
pretend we have article one Article 2
00:05:04
article 3 and we want all of these
00:05:05
articles to be published today on a
00:05:09
particular site so we have these three
00:05:10
articles now now let's say we we just
00:05:12
want these three articles published
00:05:14
today we want to publish them today
00:05:16
obviously we we don't want to set this
00:05:18
to to publish because we don't want them
00:05:20
all to be published simultaneously we
00:05:21
want to spread them out so we'd come in
00:05:23
here and we'd say schedule and we'd say
00:05:25
three a day how Zim writer works is Zim
00:05:29
writer will take 24 hours and divide it
00:05:31
by the number of posts so that's eight
00:05:34
hours apart now the problem is if you're
00:05:38
queuing this job up at noon server time
00:05:42
so there's 12 more remaining hours in
00:05:45
the day all right all of these posts
00:05:48
won't go out today they won't be
00:05:50
scheduled for today you'll have one post
00:05:52
going out now you'll have one post going
00:05:54
out if it's noon at 8:00 p.m. and you'll
00:05:56
have another post going out uh at what 4
00:05:59
A8 4 a.m. or something like that so if
00:06:02
you have a bunch of posts that you want
00:06:04
scheduled for today then what you should
00:06:07
do is put in more posts than you
00:06:09
actually intend to write so let's put in
00:06:11
20 posts now what happens is Zim writer
00:06:13
will come over here and go 24 hours
00:06:15
divided by 20 is 1.2 let's see2 * 60 12
00:06:20
hours so that's 1 hour and 12 minutes
00:06:23
apart for each post now this again this
00:06:26
would not make any sense if you have you
00:06:28
know a, articles and your que and your
00:06:31
intention is to cue stuff up for
00:06:32
multiple days don't do this we'll screw
00:06:34
stuff up but if you're just doing what
00:06:37
I'm talking about which is for a news
00:06:38
site and you want to just publish stuff
00:06:40
just for today then come in here and set
00:06:42
it up like this and then also if you're
00:06:44
going to save this to a profile make
00:06:45
sure that this box is checked right here
00:06:47
and this is how I would set up my news
00:06:49
site if I'm doing like 10 articles a day
00:06:50
or something like that so keep that in
00:06:52
mind now the last thing that we added
00:06:56
was black quotes so here's what happens
00:06:59
with the output now so I wrote this this
00:07:01
morning can't miss moments look back at
00:07:03
Super Bowl check this out there's a
00:07:05
black quote created now so Zim writer
00:07:08
will determine what juicy tidbit from
00:07:10
what paragraph to pull and then
00:07:11
summarize it a little bit so HZ dazzled
00:07:14
and Barkley defied physics but worthy
00:07:16
stole the show by turning Kansas City's
00:07:18
defense into statues so it's easy to
00:07:21
activate block quates you just go inside
00:07:23
of Zim writer and you'll see a block
00:07:25
quote option right there that's all you
00:07:26
got to do this is available in the bulk
00:07:28
Rider the penny arcade paid and then the
00:07:30
SEO writer so you can use it in all of
00:07:32
those now in terms of insertion there's
00:07:34
a lot of nuanced rules for insertion
00:07:37
block quotes have a 50% chance of
00:07:39
appearing on the first two H2 sections
00:07:43
otherwise a 30% chance on the later H2
00:07:47
sections but there's some additional
00:07:49
conditions at play the quantity of
00:07:52
paragraphs for a a subsection has to be
00:07:55
at least four and then the the
00:07:57
subsection the content has to lack a
00:07:59
list there's no list in there because
00:08:01
then we can get like BL quotes in like
00:08:03
weird places and also no table so four
00:08:06
more paragraphs no list and no table
00:08:09
also zero H2 or 1 H2 there's a special
00:08:12
rule for those the rate is
00:08:14
70% assuming no lists or tables so this
00:08:18
is a a zero H2 so there's a 70% chance
00:08:21
of getting the black quote in here I
00:08:22
wrote another I wrote three articles and
00:08:24
one of them didn't get it but the other
00:08:26
two did so that one had it and then
00:08:28
here's another one I wrote and we have a
00:08:29
block quote right there and then you can
00:08:31
also force a block quote if you're using
00:08:33
a custom outline using the block quote
00:08:35
variable so you just go into your bulk
00:08:37
writer or whatever writer you're using
00:08:39
custom outline load something up and
00:08:41
then we could just put down lock quote
00:08:44
that's all you got to do so that's it
00:08:45
for the update now there is something
00:08:47
amazing that I'm going to share in
00:08:49
another video probably tomorrow and you
00:08:52
got to check this out this is crazy I'm
00:08:54
going to show you how to use Zim writer
00:08:56
to make these images I've made social
00:08:58
media images before but this is insane
00:09:01
so these would be like Pinterest style
00:09:03
images I'm going to show you in another
00:09:05
video how to generate these in the the
00:09:09
the likelihood of correct text on these
00:09:13
images I have found is like in the 95 or
00:09:17
greater percentage so 95% of the time
00:09:20
all of the text is correct I'm not
00:09:22
getting any goof UPS or something like
00:09:23
that and it looks this good so I'll show
00:09:26
you in another video how to do this it's
00:09:28
coming in a day or two if you're not
00:09:29
touching this on Valentine's Day then
00:09:30
the video is already released go look
00:09:32
for it on my YouTube channel that's it
00:09:34
for the update Happy Valentine's Day
00:09:36
again you don't have to spend
00:09:38
Valentine's Day alone you can spend it
00:09:39
with Zim riter if you don't have anyone
00:09:41
else but I hope you have somebody else
