And I thought it'd be cool to maybe display a couple of the top headlines from a couple of the feeds in a little table cell someplace on a page, linking to the story in a new window... This seems easy enough, but I have zero experience with both XML and rss, so I was just wondering what a 'best practices' approach was to it, and what others did or didn't do when using those things. They seem cool and normally, during the course of a day, we don't have a single client who'd do *anything* with this stuff, so I was just going to jump in and try to play with it for absolutely no reason, except to learn how to do it. Maybe I'll wind up with something cool that someone will say, "hey, can you do that on our site?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=t:4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com
