OK, I'm working on my personal website, and I want a page detailing the latest Rockets news. I've already got a system running that pulls the links for the latest stories in the Chronicle, but which other sites should I try to set this system up for? I'm thinking ESPN.com etc., but I'm a bit undecided as to which ones to go with. I don't want to go to the effort of setting up a script and cron job, for a site that doesn't have anything worthwhile. Any suggestions?
Jeff, Thanks for that. I'm only keeping the last ten stories at the moment, but the page I'm pulling the links from (http://www.chron.com/content/chronicle/sports/bk/bkn/rockets/index.html) has stories going back just over a year. They seem to work so far. Surprising what you can do with Perl and a little ingenuity...
