If anyone is intersted.. I have been hacking around
with the rssx.xml file to create comics.xml.. It uses the
tapestry rss feed to display any of a bunch of different daily comic
strips.. The strips stay up until the focus is
changed...
Examples:
|
<search function="comics">
<name>Comics</name>
<description>Displays a daily comic strip.
<div class="helpboxDescLabels">Switches:</div>
<table class="helpboxDescTable">
<tr><td> Comic Name </td></tr>
</table>
<div class="helpboxDescLabels">Examples:</div>
<table class="helpboxDescTable">
<tr><td>B.C.</td><td>comics /bc</td></tr>
<tr><td>Big Nate</td><td>comics /bignate</td></tr>
<tr><td>Dilbert </td><td>comics /dilbert</td></tr>
<tr><td>Drabble </td><td>comics /drabble</td></tr>
<tr><td>Get Fuzzy </td><td>comics /fuzzy</td></tr>
<tr><td>Liberty Meadows </td><td>comics /liberty</td></tr>
<tr><td>Over the Hedge </td><td>comics /hedge</td></tr>
<tr><td>Peanuts </td><td>comics /peanuts</td></tr>
<tr><td>Pearls Before Swine</td><td>comics /pearls</td></tr>
<tr><td>Penny Arcade </td><td>comics /penny</td></tr>
<tr><td>PvP </td><td>comics /pvp</td></tr>
<tr><td>Ripley's Believe It or Not!</td><td>comics /ripleys</td></tr>
<tr><td>Rudy Park </td><td>comics /rudy</td></tr>
<tr><td>TrueNuff </td><td>comics /truenuff</td></tr>
<tr><td>User Friendly </td><td>comics /friendly</td></tr>
<tr><td>Wizard of Id </td><td>comics /id</td></tr>
