Our current SharePoint environment has Mysites setup as separate site collections where users create their blogs. It is a real challenge to know these blogs indivdually and I usually grab the RSS feed the first time I visit and then susbcribe from within Outlook. To help out non-techies, we’d like to be able to consolidate the entries from some top (regular) bloggers on our portal into a single feed that can then be used to subscribe from Outlook or display on a page on the portal.
Any ideas on how to go about this would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time and have a great day.
I would consolidate these top feeds into an OPML file. Here’s a great example. Outlook 2007 can parse this and add it as a a collection of feeds.
You could also write a quick web part to parse the OPML file and download the top n posts from each feed. Sahil Malik has already done this hard work and you could use his examples as a jump off.
