Blog Translators?

Can translators be made for blogs, such as:

http://johnrlott.blogspot.com

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.
