More news, fewer places to look – a new Lib Dem aggregator

The latest stories from a range of different (official) party websites are now being drawn together in one place, with the party’s new aggregator at http://blogs.libdems.org.uk.

It pulls in stories from places such as the party’s main www.libdems.org.uk website, specialist sites covering particular policy areas such as Home Office Watch, Nick Clegg’s website and also a selection of the latest media coverage of the party from around the internet. Also crammed in are the party’s latest YouTube film, Twitter updates and campaigns buttons.

All in just the one place.

The party is currently looking at adding in the highlights from Scottish, Welsh and European news too.

For those interested in the technical bits: it is built on WordPress, using one of the Google services to aggregate the different feeds into one combined source.
