RE: Blogger Aggregator 344 views
November 15th, 2004 4:06 AM PST
I just updated the blogger aggregator. I have split it into two main scripts. One script checks blogger for updates every 10 minutes, and puts any new blogs into a database. I discovered that blogger has an XML file for their latest updates, which is easier to parse than the HTML file, and it has less overhead. My script now reads the blog names and titles from the XML file.

The second script displays the blogs in the database. You simply click on a letter and all blogs starting with that letter will be displayed.

The next thing to add is pagination. After I let the updater run for a while, there could be hundreds of thousands of blogs in the database.
