Description

We need a bot that will scrape the blog directory at Technorati (http://technorati.com/blogs/directory/) for a few pieces of information.

1. Blog Name
2. Blog URL
3. Authority

It can do this by selecting one of the subtopics of the directory (the first example is here: http://technorati.com/blogs/directory/entertainment/celebrity-and-gossip), then scraping the 3 pieces of data for each of the 10 blogs listed on page 1.

For example, with the first example above, it would scrape:

Just Jared
http://justjared.buzznet.com
2,836

It should then move on to page 2 and scrape the same data, then page 3, etc.

Data should be stored in an Excel document or similar document with three columns for the Blog Name, URL, and Authority.
