Re: [syndication] Auto-aggregation of RSS from Blogroll management system

Auto-aggregating RSS from Blogrolls
A request to anyone who runs a Blogroll management system or code. eg Blogrolling.com, bloglines.com, Typepad.

When a new site is added to the blogroll, use RSS Auto-discovery to capture the corresponding RSS feed. From this, generate three things.

1. An aggregated html view of the feeds
We do this already. A couple of lines of Javascript added to your blog template, and you have a blogroll that is always in sync with your Bloglines subscriptions.

2. An OPML list of the feeds
We do this already as well. In addition, you can mark specific subscriptions and/or folders as private, which means they will not show up in your blogroll. For more information on our blogroll and export functionality, please see http://www.bloglines.com/help/share

Also, some people are using the MT-Outliner plugin for Moveable Type, found at http://www.cxliv.org/jayseae/movable_type/outliner/index.html to process the OPML exported from Bloglines.


3. A single composite RSS feed of all the items.

We don't yet do this, although it's on the to-do list.

Thanks,

Mark
