*WANTED*: PHP/MySQL Feed Reader/Emailer for Blog

Hi there,

I've just set up a blog on my site using blogger.com. I was playing around with Radio Userland and it had a great feature that I wanted to integrate with my Blogger blog: The "news aggregator".

I run a topical news site that, in addition my own posts, I like to post news stories that I see that are of interest.

But it's getting time consuming to do it all myself, so I'd like to have a simple script written that will email news stories into my blog (since blogger takes emailed posts).

The script should be able to read RSS, Atom, xml, etc. I give it the feeds to use, and then it will take one news story at random from the feeds and email it to my blog. I'd want to set the time interval for this to happen, and I'd want to have the option of having it list the latest item on each feed so I can pick it and have it sent instantly (just like the news aggregator on RU). I can give a screen shot to show how it should look.

Plus, since I might set up other blogs (my Dad wants to start doing blogging for his job I think), I'd want the option to have this program handle multiple blogs. I can get into more specifics with the person I choose, or once you bid.

Please only bid on this if you already have positive ratings here on RAC. I don't want this to be your first project.

BUT...this should also be a very quick, easy and fun project for the coder who knows what he (or she) is doing, so I look forward to using it right away. :)

Thanks - I look forward to getting your bid!

Todd :)

---------------------------------

Update: One more thing I'd like to have included.

If several feeds are being used for a blog...I'd like to be able to set a keyword phrase for that blog, and then this script should search through the different feeds, find the most relevant article and email that article to the respective blog. It should also never post the same article twice.

Thanks again!
