Use jquery xml to parse an opml file. (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10943544/how-to-parse-an-rss-feed-using-javascript#10943610) Script:

1. Read in opml. (Every page load?)
2. Select a blog at random.
3. Pull the most recent update to that blog.

<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script>
$( document ).ready(function(){
    //Code
});
</script>

Parsing opml:

$.get(blogs.opml, function(data){
    $(data).find("outline").each( function() {
        var el = $(this);
        console.log(el.find("text").text()); // feed name
        // "type" is RSS or Atom
        // "xmlurl" and "htmlurl"
    });
});

Use .slice(n,n+1) to choose a random element. But now to choose n?

• jquery doesn't "wrap" too-large indices Use .length property to get no. of elements?

    ots = $(data).find("outline");
    index = Math.floor(Math.random() * ots.length);
    feed = ots.slice(index, index + 1);

Then extract from the most recent element of the feed:

• author
• description or summary (RSS/atom)
• link
• pubDate or published (RSS/Atom)
• title And from the feed itself:
• feed name
• type (internal)
• url (internal?)
