MyCurator allows you to curate content for a Topic (equivalent to WordPress Categories) for free, but you will have to obtain an API Key to access the 
cloud services.  For those who need to curate a lot of different topics or for multiple sites, low priced monthly plans are 
available - always with a free 30 day trial.  Visit http://www.target-info.com/pricing/ for more information on how MyCurator can add 
content curation to your content marketing capabilities.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does MyCurator work with most themes? =

MyCurator creates a simple excerpted blog post, with a link to the original page.  It should work with most
themes. Optionally, it will try to save an image from the article as the featured image for the post.

= Does MyCurator work with Network Sites? =

Yes, MyCurator works with Network sites.  You must have a key for each site.  Enterprise options are available 
for businesses and larger sites that need many keys.

= Does MyCurator work with other languages? =

Yes, MyCurator will read and post articles written in other languages.  All characters in the UTF-8 encoding, the same
used by WordPress, will be displayed.  You can customize the link to the original page to match your language.  
The admin pages, documentation and the training videos are only in English at this time.

= How often does MyCurator read my sources for articles? =

You can set MyCurator to process every 3, 6, 12 or 24 hours, depending on how often new articles are posted to 
your sources.  Processing happens in the background, with most of the processing off-site using our
cloud services.
