    Hello fellow stackers,
    The BJF website has been down since January.
    For all you tech gurus out there I was wondering if someone here can instruct me on how to replicate his website?

    It shouldn't be too difficult because his website was just a collection of news from other websites.
    He used to have a list of these websites on the right hand side of his page.
    I was wondering if someone can copy paste the list from a cached version of brotherjohnf and we can insert it into a newsfeed website, even news.google.com.au

    Does anyone have any ideas? I really enjoyed the bjf website.

    Okay I found the list on a cached version of BJF on web.archive.org
    Now I have to insert each link individually into feedly.com it takes a long time.
    Does anyone know a quicker fix?
    Once I am done, I should be able to export it to an .opml file so other's here can load that into their feedly or other newsfeed websites and enjoy BJF articles once again.

    download here the OPML file that will give you the BrotherJohnF.com blog roll minus zerohedge.com

    https://ufile.io/ho2tf

    You can import this file with several news feed websites, I use feedly.com

    I also strongly recommend checking out silverbearcafe.com which is a worthy replacement of BJF on it's own.

    I subscribed to BJF while the cryptos were going crazy.
    Once the cryptos tanked, BJF and his subscription site went down.
    I contacted him and he assured everyone that their subscribers would be reimbursed.

    BJF never reimbursed any subscribers.
    I wasnt aware he had resurfaced.

    Seems like hes up to his old tricks.

    I've also got a wide array of feeds on the pmbug website news page. I just updated it a few days ago.
