i have started using iblog and i thought it would be neat if a plugin (or script) could be written to retrieve the latest post's title and add it a profile or away message
now my programing and scripting skills are nonexistent, so if someone could help me out (or write one) that would be very neat i think

ok so ive thought about this a bit more. iblog stores a local copy of the blog in an html file in the sites folder, the title of each entry is tagged with a title tag, so some how there has to be a way to find the first title tag and copy what is in it to adium. any one any ideas??
thanks

I dunno how to find the date created, but here is the UNIX command for reading the file's contents:

Code: Select all

cat /path/to/file
