So, here’s the problem: I’ve been using Syndirella for all my news aggregating. It’s a great program, and although Dmitry doesn’t really have the time or enthusiasm to upgrade it much further, it is open source, so someone might pick up the slack. (Fingers crossed.) Since I’ve been using Syndirella, I’ve been reading the web with my browser a lot less often, so when I come across an interesting site, I grab its feed, rather than put it into my blogroll. I’ve got about 300 blogs in my feed list and I’d like to show them on my blogroll, but I don’t feel like copying and pasting all 300 links into the form at blogrolling.com.
One of the things Syndirella does well is export its feed list to OPML and OCS. Blogrolling.com supports some OPML interaction for those people using Radio. (Maybe I’m just not understanding, but I don’t think this applies to any other blogging software.) I’m looking for an automated way to make my blogroll and my feedlist mirror one another in Moveable Type (or Blogger, or whatever) and in Syndirella (or FeedReader or Amphetadesk or NewzCrawler or whatever), probably using OPML as an intermediary, but without requiring me to muck around with any of those “P” languages (Perl, PHP, Python) in which I am utterly incompetent. A tall order?
