```r
if (!dir.exists("content")) dir.create("content")
if (!dir.exists("content/post")) dir.create("content/post")
x <- scifetch::getrss('path-to-your-own-rss-xml-files')
for (i in 1:NROW(x)) {
name = gsub("^http[s]?://|/$", "", tolower(x[i, 'linkTitle']))
name = gsub("%", "", name)
name = gsub("[^a-z0-9]+", "-", name)
name = gsub("--+", "-", name)
# file name too long issue
name = substr(name, 1, 200)
p = sprintf('content/post/%s.md', paste0(name))

sink(p)
cat('---\n')
cat(yaml::as.yaml(x[i,],))
cat('disable_comments: true\n')
cat('---\n')
cat(as.character(x[i, 5]))
sink()
}
```

- Add comma and your name to the `YAML` front matter block in contributor.md
