I’m trying to use Digest Post to do something very similar to what you’ve done, but having trouble getting it to work. I’ve installed it on my WordPress blog, edited the plugin with the URL of my feed (I’m trying to get a digest of my Tumblr feed), and set the time I’d like it to run, but nothing happens.

Unfortunately, I can’t find any support information for this plugin. No forums, not even a Plugin Homepage.

You seem to have made it work quite nicely for you. Would you mind helping me out? Did you have any issues making it work? Would you be willing to share your code, so that I could replicate what you’ve done?

Any help you could provide would be much appreciated.

For the moment, I’m going to leave things as they are. Really, I’d like to have the blog roundups prevented from overwhelming the site by having other posts made. If this works (and it looks like it will), that lifts a burden so people can make other local posts, commentary on the local scene and news, other hyperlocal coverage, etc without the grind of blog roundups. I’d love to see more coverage in every community in the area from Aynor and Loris to Surfside and Little River. I can dream my little dream.

It might be good to set the digest posts as their own category, and offer up a category specific feed. It also might be a good idea to create two content tabs, one for hyper-local community blogging and the other for digests. The hyper-local posts could be the default view when you come to the site. That way the digest feeds won’t drown out the more human content.
