Daily Lectionary RSS Feed January 18. 2005
I get an email every day that contains daily lectionary readings and I have stopped really reading the email because of all the other clutter I get in my Inbox. I needed a way to make these reading more accessible to me and from anyplace on the Internet (not just from my inbox). I use the "Live Bookmarks" feature of firefox quite a bit now and thought... "why can't I do that for my lectionary email?" Well, after a day of coding I have finished the feed. I wrote a perl script to parse the email when it comes into my Inbox and write out a static xml+rss2.0 file. The script seems to be working pretty well and so I offer it to anyone who would like to use the feed.
http://lestblood.imagodirt.net/lectionary/lectionary.xmlThe lectionary readings are from the PC (USA) and so they are not exactly the same as some other church's lectionary readings. Though, on Sunday there are two sets of readings... the standard lectionary readings and the church year lectionary readings (which do correspond to other church lectionaries).

I'm already doing that with about 25 different mailing lists, and none of them ever even touch my inbox.
www.bloglines.com lets me create any number of "email subscriptions" that I want to. Each time I create one, it gives me an email address like justinw.3064919@bloglines.com. (that's one I use for sites I know are going to compromise my email address
) Then I subscribe using that email address, and emails sent to that address show up under that feed subscription. I even have the chance to replyto/forward/compose email from that subscription, for instance, to confirm my email address.
Props to you for reinventing the wheel, though! I was blown away when they announced this feature.

I'm not sure if bloglines would be able to do exactly what I did though that does seem like a really neat feature. I seperated each reading into an individual item in the rss channel. I assume bloglines would just make each email received into a single item.
RSS rocks!
