This websites don't have RSS, so I can't just automate it in WordPress.

Basically. I want to use Automator to grab a images from multiple URLs and rename them. However, I just need to grab the one within a DIV. Such as this:

Code: 
<html>
<body>
<div="header"></div>
<div="content"></div>
<div="sidebar"></div>
<div="footer"></div>
</body>
</html>

Whatever is in <div="content"></div> is what I'm wanting.

How would I do this? Is this even possible in Automator? I'm thinking about creating a Safari Extention to rip out the extra stuff within the CSS.

Click to expand...

Because there's at least 50. And not only is it tiring to open Safari 50 times everyday, my MBP cannot handle it since it's getting old.

Basically, I want to have a script that opens up Safari, grabs the image between <div="content"></div>, like <div="content"><img src="website1.png"></div> and save it as website1.png. Then, repeat, and repeat, and repeat.

It's just for a little project.
