Aha, now I understand why I was having so much trouble. I didn't think
to download the script and modify it. I downloaded the script and
tried to add your code at the specified location but it kept returning
no results. I modified it to the following:
var link = this.createLink_(entries[i].link,
entries[i].publishedDate + " - " +
entries[i].title,
this.options.linkTarget);
and I get the following results:
Wed, 02 May 2012 21:00:00 -0700 - News Release Title Blah
Blah Blah
Which is soooo much closer than I was but how can I remove that time
stamp and move the day after the month? I tried tweaking the code you
gave me and I tried some parsing samples I found online but I can't
get anything to work.
Thanks a ton for the help, I definitely feel like it's within reach
now.
