Blog Translators?

MaverickNH
Can translators be made for blogs, such as:

http://www.volokh.com

Thanks!

    Zotero technically has a blogspot translator, but it doesn't work for all blogspot blogs. There is a good amount of variation between blogs, especially the way they present their metadata (most of the blogs don't). This could be improved somewhat, but it's a good amount of work to do it well.

    Volokh has some embedded metadata (particularly interesting and up-to-now unsupported is the "parsely-page" meta tag) and we could scrape it. We actually do scrape some metadata using our generic Embedded Metadata translator, but we don't recognize it as a blog.

    Edit: I tweaked our Embedded Metadata translator to recognize blogs as such and to scrape parsely metadata. Volokh pages should import better now.

    How about wordpress.com blogs?

    most WordPress blogs already import basic metadata. That's probably as good as it's going to get.
