an rss fed home page
i am in the process of revising the home page of the domain and i thought that putting the headlines of my we+blog in my section of the home page would be cool.
what i wanted to do was to take the rss feed from this blog, mash it up and just show bits of it on the home page complete with links, of course. what i needed was an rss parser.
after a quick search and plenty of reading and i found magpierss. its a pretty cool tool — it does what i want to do and the plus is i can easily use it with php. the version i used is 0.72. as of this writing, a version 2.0 is in the works but its still in alpha.
a pretty good how-to article that i used is from olate.
update: i just uploaded the new version of the home page. 2006.10.23
