#Weekly wordpress roundup post generator script
Ok. This is a very ugly version of something that I hope works better later. On TechInAsia.com, we do weekly roundup posts, and currently that process in manual. The following is a weekend experiment to see how we might remove some of the heavy lifting through automation.
So far it does the following:
- Find the date for the previous Monday, and get all posts tagged China that have been published since then. (h/t to ChristopheD for tip on how to do that)
- Output titles and links as markdown for use roundup post creation.
- Output description excerpt, which can then be rewritten or modified.
Improvements to come later:
- Write output to a .md file
- Include post headers, lead image, footer for roundup post
- Maybe make use of OSX's 'summary' service to summarize the entire post?
