    How would you set up a site like this...

    Ok, I actually have 2 questions concerning sites that I can't figure out how to make. First one is http://www.justwantfuck.com/. I know that it just syndicates the RSS from other sites, but what kind of script would I need to make a site like it? I actually want to make a site similar to http://www.justwantfuck.com/ so that I can syndicate all of my smaller blogs, and my friends blog, into one big mega blog.

    Second one is a non-adult site, http://www.a1wrestling.com/. Back when I used to run a wrestling news site, this site syndicated my news headlines. Only thing is...my wrestling news site didn't have an RSS feed, just as several of the sites that they syndicate now don't have an RSS feed. So how can they syndicate the headlines from my site if I don't have an RSS feed?

    Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me on either/both of these questions.

      1st site looks brutal when I peeped it in Firefox. However, to make one like it just get a script that can parse RSS feeds (php, asp, java, etc...). Write a wrapper around it to grab those feeds at a set interval (i.e. every 15 minutes) and write it the output to a DB / html file / text file, whatever. Your front-end will just pull together the stuff you aggregate.

      The second website, well, I'd guess they're crawling known websites with predetermined regular expressions and grabbing the stuff they want. That's just a guess though.

          Thank you very much for the info. Unfortunately I have no clue how to do any of what you just said. lol. Can you be more specific on what script I would need to parse the RSS, etc. please?

              I've never used them, but I keep reading that blog software (Wordpress / Autoblogger ?????) can aggregate RSS feeds. I'm sure someone will chime in with better help than I provided, so here's a bump for you.

                      Yeah, I'm not wanting to make sites that look like those...just that work like those. lol. My big thing is the mega blog site, because I want to syndicate the 6 or 7 blogs that my friend and I have into one big blog.
