James, Actually, it's was supposed to be called 'iGoogle' from the start, which is why the URL ended in 'ig'. Brian Butterworth HYPERLINK "http://www.ukfree.tv/"www.ukfree.tv Email: HYPERLINK "mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"[EMAIL PROTECTED]
_____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of James Cridland Sent: 21 May 2007 12:47 To: backstage@lists.bbc.co.uk Subject: [backstage] A decent editorially-ordered BBC News feed? Since I'm at home tending a cold, I thought I'd do some reconfiguring of my "iGoogle" page (that's what they insist on calling the Google personalised homepage these days - Steve Jobs has a lot to answer for). I thought I might look at the current BBC News gadgets, and write a nicer one (which gives the text as well as just the headline). But - am I alone in finding the BBC News RSS feeds slightly wanting? The three big items on the BBC News (UK) front page right now are: - Blaze ravages Cutty Sark - Fresh clashes in Northern Lebanon - No 10 defends Hodge housing call However, the top three items on the BBC News UK front page RSS feed right now are: - Lebanon clashes 'kill civilians' - Cameron attacks grammar 'fantasy' - Jail term for Khaleda Zia adviser Essentially, that RSS feed is useless as a feed for "the top three stories right now". Is there a way I can get an RSS feed sorted in editorial order, rather than just time-added order? The top three stories exist on HYPERLINK "http://www.bbc.co.uk/fivelive/"http://www.bbc.co.uk/fivelive/ and the top story lives on the Radio 4 website, so it's presumably possible. Indeed, HYPERLINK "http://news.bbc.co.uk/nolpda/ukfs_news/hi/default.stm"http://news.bbc.co.uk /nolpda/ukfs_news/hi/default.stm contains, with the HRs, exactly what I'd like in my Google Gadget. So is this available for mere mortals to use? -- HYPERLINK "http://james.cridland.net/"; \nhttp://james.cridland.net/ No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
