In August, I’ve set up www.antropologi.info/blog – a kind of anthropology newspaper, an overview over anthropology blogs (and related blogs) (written in English) with their most recent posts on one page.
Now I’ve set up an alternative version that shows the most recents entries of all blogs in a chronological order. So it’s easier to see what’s new. This site even produces a RSS-feed and there are categories. Blog entries are searchable. Only the headlines are shown (in order to encourage people to visit and comment the original source), but the contents of the blog are stored and can therefore be searched.
The site is updated every four hours.
I’ve tested the site only for a few days, so it’s still somehow “beta”. I hope I haven’t forgotten any blogs. More will be added. As always, comments are welcome.

For anthropology-only blogs see www.antropologi.info/feeds/anthropology
(I can’t get Xirdaliums feed (cyberanthropology) to get fetched. According the error message, the feed is “malformed” – Maybe I’ll get it working later)
PS: The new site is powered by a new Open Source RSS-reader called Gregarius. It is very easy to set up. Requires MySql and is updated via cron. As my webhost doesn’t provide this, I use the free webbased cron service Cronjob.de . Alternatives: Webcron.org and Cronjob4you.

This is fantastic! I´ve been waiting for that – Thank you for all the valuable work you´re doing!
Wow, thats great! thanks for all the effort, I sincerely hope that you feel it’s appreciated!
Your blog newspaper looks very nice.
Perhaps you already know this… but you can also use Gregarius to power your blog newspaper. If you add a ?theme=rss to any Gregarius URL you will get an RSS feed on that page.
For example http://www.antropologi.info/feeds/global/?theme=rss will give you an rss output of all the global blogs. Then you can use zfeeder or Feed to javascript http://jade.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/feed/ to put that info into the blog newspaper. You can even get the output of search queries as rss feeds by the same method. Think of Gregarius as a feed DJ and you can take any of its output and put it anywhere.
Thanks! It’s always encouraging to get nice comments. I like the picture of Gregarius as a feed-DJ!
