It might take several months (for me at least) until they send
authorisation. I can't find that same thing in the address above by the
way...

Thanks for that, Mark. I never knew about this tool. I knew about RSS2Blog
(for them damn scrapers), but I am glad to have bookmarked this OSS project.
I once tried to have a 'latest from Freshmeat, Register and Slashdot' pane.
They make content dynamic, which is good for the visitor and perhaps
crawlers as well.
