Recent discussion here on HTML parsing and using Michael N.'s
outstanding Mechanize library prompted me to straighten up some code and
write up an explanation of how I parse CafePress pages to build the
[rubystuff.com](http://rubystuff.com) Web site.
I’ve put the draft up at:
> **[How I Did It: Building RubyStuff.com](https://neurogami.com/cafe-fetcher/)**
>
> A microformat that eases the transition from page to print with CSS and HTML
Not sure if that will be the long-term home, though.
Comments welcome.
