Hi Jason. Sorry for the delay, I'm not ignoring you (or anybody else for that matter :?>). It's that work thing getting in the way of the fun stuff!
Anyway, I did grab a copy of your script, but haven't had time to check it out. I downloaded & installed a copy of sitescooper as well, and I have to say I'm almost hooked on it. I've set up a cron job (unix) to run sitescooper which updates my site list once every couple of hours & saves the scoop'd html files into my webspace. I've then set the plucker desktop to pluck _that_ one site and voila! There's slashdot (& whatever other sites I decide to add later), nicely formatted & everything. And as an added bonus, I can browse to the same url & read the exact same, simple, nice clean pages while at my desktop. Pretty darn cool. So I'll continue on with the plucker + sitescooper combo & see how it goes. thks to all for your help.
