I'm sure someone's done this already, so I wanted to see if I could find pre-existing code before slogging my way through it, and I'd appreciate any help.

I want to create a page on my blog that aggregates one week's worth of entries from all the blogs from my university. Ideally, I'd like them arranged like:



I only want a week's worth of entries, and there doesn't have to be any archive.

The only way I can think of to do this is to read through all the RSS feeds from other sites, somehow aggregate them into one large RSS feed, and then spit them back out onto my page. I'm thinking that MT-RSS might be the way to go, but I'm not decided yet. Does anyone have any suggestions or know a site that has done something similar?

Thank you,
Tony

Not quite exactly that, seems like!

You'd need to hack on or around mt-rss to list individual entries by date; normally you'll end up with them grouped in per-feed blocks. You could use MTPerlScript to resort the mt-rss output, but at the level of proficiency that would take, you could write a whole new something from scratch to do it much more sanely. Also mt-rss will only display what's in the RSS feed when you rebuild the page, not the past week of entries. Using mt-rss to republish your synthesized feed would work, but at that point you might as well skip MT there too.

Some sites use David Raynes' Post-It, but that requires sending Trackback instead of merely publishing RSS.
