recent blog list - it’s back (almost)

Posted in web dev, byteclub at 1:44 am by Clinton

The top ten most recent byteclub post!

I had to have it back, and so i’ve spent some time coding once again in the name of happy monkeys!

It’s not quite complete. For starters I haven’t set up 10+ blog in the list :), and I need to tweak the CSS to get those monkey awards showing in IE and others, but the “how will I do that…” stuff is done! I would like to add the title of the lastest post for each blogger, and perhaps a comment count (which can also be gathered via rss).

It’s using MagpieRSS, (which uses snoopy for http client+proxy support). Nicely, Magpie is cacheing feeds (although I want to check the period of caching), but its pretty quick once the initial feeds were gathered.

So - getting there…

    Nothing inspires a community like a ranking system.

    Great job!
