Thanks so much for the digest tip. I was getting tired of having to do it all manually each day! While I’ll have to do some minor tweaking, it really, really helps — even on Blogger.

@ mpb:

I have an rss2html program I wrote last week that will let you write HTML templates around an RSS feed. You can loop over any items, sort them, do whatever you want.

I just need to write a front end for it to make it more usefriendly. I’ll email you a beta once I have some documentation so you can try it out.

I have a suggestion or request–
is there a way for someone (i.e., you; in case I mess up my copy of the pipe altogether) to modify the pipe so the images, including the avatar, are not collected (just the text blurb) or better yet, collect only the titles with links? (I have an animated image which never finishes loading so the Pipe Cleaner can run)

When the pipe is exported as an email alert, Yahoo adds the date besides the title, also useful.

The purpose is–
I would like to have a chronological list of posts in my WordPress. Now I do this manually using Zoundry blog client to insert titles into a new post. I also use Zoundry to create a list of my posts alphabetically (even more of a chore). Any pipe dreams for this latter?

Thank you.

Cat linked me to this. I haven’t done this myself yet [as the month is yet to be up...] but have recommended this to others. Thanks for the great tool. :)

I’ve not actually thanked you for this yet. This is excellent and I’ve used it a few times and recommended it to others.

Thank you very much. :)

@philip

we resolved this by email, and it was because he had his wordpress feed limited to 10 items.

Dashboard >> Options >> Reading >> Syndication Feeds, Show the Most Recent X number of posts

Hi STERIO,
The article on the site you link to is only any good for someone using Wordress.org NOT WordPress.com.

Here’s a way to only include Most Read posts in a digest.

Not a 3 seconds trick but there’s an added benefit of maillist integration.
