I am hosting sproutpics on my dreamhost account, which is mostly being unused. I have lots of extra disk space to play with, so I have written a LiveJournal aggregator. The basic concept is similar to SproutSearch (read an XML feed of blog information, store it, organize and display it). Since Dreamhost now offers PHP 5 hosting, I opted to switch sproutpics to PHP 5 so I could use some new functionality it offers.

Instead of using my own HTML parser, as I did with SproutSearch, I used SimpleXML to parse LiveJournal's RSS feed. I found this to work very nicely, it uses a lot less code than SproutSearch, and it's no doubt quite a bit faster as well.
