when rss is not available

there are stand alone scripts that will pull selective content off of sites available on hotscripts.com. They vary in usability because one person’s needs arent likely to match another’s.

if you absolutely cannot do without such a thing, I reccommend contacting someone VERY good with php, maybe through the hackers list, or even rentacoder.com and pay for a custom script — that way you can let whoever writes it know exactly what info you need.

rentacoder is more reasonable than you might think, people tend to to get pretty competitive when they know theyre not the only one up for the job.
