Brighton Bloggers aggregated RSS


I've just added a new section to Brighton Bloggers to take the last 30 or so blogs from the aggregated RSS feed and display them on the site. Hopefully, for those who don't want to read all the posts via RSS they can still get a flavour of what is on offer from participants.

It is written in PHP and is a customised version of the PHP RSS Reader originally written by Richard James Kendall. The script was really easy to customise and I'm really pleased with how it looks. I could do with a better word than Aggregated though, so if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

Life stream


After reading Jeremy's blog post on life streaming in November I've been thinking of doing a similar thing. I experimented using SuprGlu but found the results slow and unreliable - it seems to take quite a while for various posts to get added to the history. So now, with the help of Jeremy's more recent post, and Grant's post I've managed to aggregate my Jane's technical stuff posts, my Jane's photographic stuff posts, my posts to Jane and Richard's yak and natter, Brighton Bloggers posts, Twitter, del.icio.us and flickr. Initially I had a few problems with getting the Twitter feed to work, until I remembered that I'd restricted updates. Once I'd removed that restriction, it all fed together nicely and I have a nice RSS feed of my posts across the various mediums.
