This week I thought I would tell you all about a really cool script I discovered. Its called "Personal Open Directory (POD) v1.23".
Well, everyone knows about the Open Directory found at http://dmoz.org/. This little dandy of a script will parse the directory for you and display the directory's contents on your site. The directory can be reformatted as well if you set the variables correctly.
Below you will find the description of the free product from their web site;
"The Personal Open Directory calls the Netscape Open Directory (a mirror of the Open Directory Project, and a site which is better networked that ODP itself) to provide you and your users with a Web experience which looks like they've never left your site. It isn't done with homely frames or with the need to parse the huge RDFs from ODP itself, but rather grabbing the data in real-time from NOD. Not only can you customize its output, but if you run or have access to MaxComm and are an Amazon.com Associate, it will automatically add book links to content pages and searches conducted through POD."
