Damasus Re-worked

I’ve updated and re-worked Damasus slightly. It’s running on the latest version of FeedWordPress, which makes it easier to spot broken feeds. This has also led to me dropping a few feeds from the scan, as Find Articles isn’t formatting all of its feeds well.

If you don’t know what Damasus is, it’s an aggregator that looks through some Anthropology / Archaeology / Classics/ History feeds and, if the feeds are helpful, makes a searchable pool of recent abstracts in one place. It’s also very much proof of concept than a serious attempt at a tool. There’s a brief article due out on it in December’s Archaeological Computing Newsletter. If you don’t have a subscription there’s a slightly different worded version Introducing Damasus.
