What problem was solved?

I also run a blog– and I also run a YouTube channel. I wanted to be able to post a YouTube video and then create a post on my blog containing my video. Instead of doing this manually– I then created a bash script instead. It simply grabs the latest video that has been posted from videos.xml.
