Last Item: Simplicity Theme

[culpeper]

The middle section of Simplicity shows Recent Topics.ÃÆ'ââ,¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ,  I was thinking on changing that to Recent Headlines with the following RSS feeds converted to Javascript.ÃÆ'ââ,¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ,  It shows the top 5 current headlines from each news feed.ÃÆ'ââ,¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ,  Is this possible and how?

I guess another option would be just to create a link to a html page with RSS feeds in the LatestNews section of Simplicity Theme.

Example html page: http://www.tarawa-betio.org/coulterfranken/rss.htm

If you plan to have it in permanently, its just a matter of puttig it into the template files..but it can also be put into a textbox in admin section, you will need some extra code in 2 files then - which one do you prefer?

First, I'm going to try having a separate html page based on the Simplicity theme itself.  I'll place the link in the LatestNews section of the forum.  The html page will still have all the orginal credits that should go at the bottom.

Like this draft page... http://www.tarawa-betio.org/coulterfranken/rss2.htm
