## How it works
This n8n workflow automatically publishes WordPress posts using trending content from Reddit RSS feeds (like `/r/artificial` and `/r/MachineLearning`), enhanced with AI writing and royalty-free images.
1. **RSS Feed Trigger**: Fetches new Reddit posts every minute from multiple AI-related subreddits.
2. **AI Blog Writer**: Uses an LLM (Groq / GPT-4o) to convert Reddit titles + content into a full blog article (title, content, category, tags, image keyword).
3. **Image Generator**: Queries the Pexels API using the keyword provided by the AI to fetch a relevant blog image.
4. **Category & Tag Manager**: Automatically creates or reuses categories and tags in WordPress.
5. **WordPress Publisher**: Posts the article in draft or published form — complete with featured image and metadata.
Everything is dynamically generated — no hardcoded text or API keys!
