Last week at WBR, we re-launched the website for My Chemical Romance. The site’s built on Drupal 6.x and showcases blogs, photos, and tweets directly from the band members.
To aggregate the Twitter feed, we used the FeedAPI module and associated SimplePie parser. Cron runs every 10 minutes to ensure the content [...]
