Just a list of the blog posts.

Here is the link to the API: http://developer.ning.com/docs/ningapi/1.0/index.html

I'm not much of a developer. Any help would be appreciated. Or if anybody is familiar with this stuff and wants to be hired, I'd be glad to pay some money.

did you start doing something so far? – Ibu May 09 '11 at 06:08 — Ibu, May 09 '11 at 06:08
No, I haven't. I don't really know where to start. – J82 May 09 '11 at 06:18 — J82, May 09 '11 at 06:18

Ok i will from what i see you are not familiar with APIs. You access the information using cURL there is a good page in the documentation that gives you examples.

Now for using curl it's fairly simple in php:

        $url = 'https://external.ningapis.com/xn/rest/apiexample/1.0/Photo/recent?xn_pretty=true'
        $ch = curl_init(); 
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); 
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, FALSE); 
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, TRUE); // remove body 
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE); 
        $response = curl_exec($ch); 
        $httpCode = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE); 
        curl_close($ch);

Now you have all the information you need inside $response Check the API documentation for the exact way to work with this API. also check curl on php.net
