re:[wdvltalk] What are they doing here?
The key to understanding this page is in the doctype. The doctype tells us that the document root element is html and it is public. This means it is validated using html and that the dtd being public (well-known) can be found in numerous locations. It also tells us that the dtd is SoftQuad Software//DTD HoTMetaL PRO 6.0::19990601::extensions to HTML 4.0//EN. Unlike a system doctype a public doctype need not have a specific uri for the dtd since it is well known and therefore easily referencable. That helped didn't it? What is means is we have a page written using the HotMetal Pro ver6 system. A system which contains extension to html 4.0. A proprietary set of extensions which suggests an ide of some kind, like Dreamweaver or Front Page. Google HotMetal Pro and sure enough it's The most versitile Website development tool. See it did help. The postings you are concerned about are nothing more than rss feeds from what seems to be a publisher marketing outfit. I expect HotMetal Pro contains the extensions to include the feeds and some other features on the page. On a quick look it seems to be just another wysiwyg editor. You could, in other words, roll your own. Poke around that sit and xmetal.com and you'll get a better feel for what it does.

Thanks! I guess it is time to wade into the world of RSS feeds. Riva Trusz, Andrew wrote: The key to understanding this page is in the doctype.

Re:[wdvltalk] What are they doing here?
You might not have to look deeply into rss. If you use something like HotMetal Pro, you can probably pick up the feeds easily enough. Writing your own aggregator to pick up the feeds would require a detailed look. The good news there is that it's really xml so if you know xml you'll be ok with a specialized version in the form of rss. The other postings aren't even that esoteric. Looks like a bulletin board or blog based on php. There are a number of those around if you want to put that into your page. webdesign-l and wsg archives would have a lot of threads on the subject. As usual some are easy to configure and some monsters. If Shelia Fenelon is still reading this list she might have a php suggestion or two. drew � The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM � To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or use the web interface http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ Send Your Posts To: wdvltalk@lists.wdvl.com To change subscription settings, add a password or view the web interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=wdvltalk http://www.wdvl.com ___ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.

[wdvltalk] Ruby On Rails
Anyone have any experience with Ruby on Rails, or opinions? I have a co-developer who is working on a big site with me and he is telling me that this is the way to go. It sounds pretty good, but I'd like some more opinions on it. Also, I'm new to Linux and very experienced with Windows. Stay where I'm at, or once I'm there I won't go back??? Thanks for any opinions!
