Sounds interesting, except my name is slept with a S "FRASER" I'm a bit slow, but I think we could have a good list just based on categories. I'll post a list of all blogs I used to subscribe to that had Coldfusion specific categories.
PS: I'd be happy to post a Blog aggregator with all these if someone wants to tell me how or give me the needed software.

That's because you're a human (or so I've been lead to believe by reliable witnesses ;-) not a cfml page. There is no international standard for the contents of the <dc:subject> tag in an rss feed that identifies Coldfusion related posts. If you want to compose a list of the names of ColdFusion post categories across the few hundred or so blogs the Goog aggregates (and keep it updated) and perhaps use it to write a little filter function that automatically identifies Coldfusion related blog posts for the CF blend I'm sure Geoff would be most appreciative. Perhaps you wouldn't need the subject list - here's an exercise for community- minded cfaussiers with some time on their hands: Q U E S T I O N: "What is a reliable, reasonably computationally inexpensive way to identify a ColdFusion related blog post? Your entry must be a CFML UDF that, passed an <item>...</item> as a string from this URL: http://www.fullasagoog.com/xml/fullasagoog50.xml Will return a boolean true if the item would be of interest to Dale. Here is an example: <cffunction returntype="boolean" name="isColdFusionPost"> <cfargument type="string" name="item" required="true"> <return item contains "forta"> </cffunction> Entries to be submitted by end of August. We will then take a sample from the above url, run your functions over the list of items and at the same time Dale can submit his own list of relevant articles. We will put the lists up and the entry that gets closest to Dale's list (i.e is most indistinguishable from a human's selection) wins. In memory of Alan Turing I think we simply have to christen this competition: "THE FRAZER TEST" RocketBoots will send a ColdFusion book of the winners choosing to the winner.
