Playing with Dapper

by Winnie on May.13, 2010, under Posts

So a while ago, I created a blog for Clinicbook from scratch using Ruby on Rails.  While it does that basic post/comment/view functions, we figured we should stick with Wordpress due to its abundant and already existing infrastructure such as widgets and plugins.   Part of the reason for a blog is to keep the public updated with Clinicbook developments and to provide a platform for users to voice their opinions.  Also, we want to push out health-related information/news through the blog which we think would be of interest to our health-conscious users.  Hence I’ve started exploring this tool called Dapper (www.dapper.net/open), which grabs content from the web.   Today, I played around with it, and managed to get it to output a customized RSS feed.  By the way, it can output different formats as well, but I just chose RSS feed so I could try it out on this site using the Wordpress plugin to display the feeds.
