Nothing stays secret for long..

Nothing stays secret on the web for long
Ive been busily setting up my on blog on my website using WordPress, and importing posts from this blog using the RSS feed.

This morning i checked my emails and i had two emails from PHP Classes telling me that they had a trackback ping from my blog.
I’ve just looked in the 404 error database, and I’ve seen three different user-agent strings from bots that crawl blogs.
ping.blo.g
Blogslive (info@blogslive.com)s/2.0
Yahoo-Blogs/v3.9 (compatible; Mozilla 4.0; MSIE 5.5; http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/ysearch/crawling/crawling-02.html )

Here’s the one from PHP Classes: httpclient (http://www.phpclasses.org/httpclient $Revision: 1.63 $)

I’ll make this “official” when I have the new site style up and running

Bye for now…

RSSread released!

My latest pet project, RSSread, has been released, though it is still being worked on.

RSSread has been incorporated into my homepage.
So this post and any new ones will also be shown on my homepage.

All of this has been done by reading the XML file which is produced by my blog, this means that any RSS feeds can be read by my script, as long as they are XML files.
The script can be configured in a number of different ways which can be found on the example page
It is actually only the example page which is still being worked on, but because this file is being included in the zip file, I have not yet properly released RSSread.

I will post more details in a few days time when I have finished the example page
