2. I like it.. but I have a suggestion...

...why not use a javascript so all that needs embedding is something like:
<script>http://www.whateversite.com/newsheadlines.js</script>

free program here:

4. this is a scrolling ticker with a fade...

i also use xml to syndicate my static headlines...
http://new.globalfreepress.com/globalfreepress.xml

and RDF
http://new.globalfreepress.com/globalfreepress.rdf

that only requires you to use the url.

not to mention that app requires windows =(

thanks for the feed back :hi:

peace

8. RSS!

I was looking for progressive news sites that have RSS feed. I just added you to my news reader.

Hey wait a minute, is something wrong with the feed? I'm getting this:

Can�t display news for this subscription because:
Can't display this subscription because the RSS feed could not be found.

My reader is downloading the source just fine, but it won't display it for some reason.

3. Another idea....

Can you create an applet that'd run real time on your PC? You could also create links to GFP, DU, etc....I'd pass it far and wide, be a great way to increase your exposure bpilgrim...

5. I like it!

i think some already exist that would work with my headlines since i convert them as well as CD and DU to xml on the fly.

let me have a check on google and i will get back to you here on what i find unless some DU'er beats me to it ;->

:hi:

6. view headlines on your desktop - Windows, Linux, Mac

I think this may be the app, i am going to try it - os x - and i will respond with instructions on how to make it work with our progressive headlines.
