Topic: rss feed modified

I want to change the look of the RSS reader, so that it doesn't have the big bar across the top. I don't care about seeing the title or date of the post. Is there one that is already like this?

Could you also tell me, how much text can a single rss post display?  The posts I want to read are completely text but can contain hundreds of lines of text. So if there's a limit can it be changed?

I've never built a widget, so if I need to modify myself to accomplish this, please give me some pointers on how to download it, edit it, where to upload it and get it streaming on my account.

thanks

This is a pretty large topic.  I would recommend the wiki, Flash tutorials (based on ActionScript 2), some good old fashioned Google searches, and a healthy amount of elbow grease.

You can find a sample RSS reader here http://wiki.chumby.com/mediawiki/index. … RSS_Widget

Here is a good page for developers to get started http://www.chumby.com/developers/flash

Hope that helps point you in the proper direction.

Cheers.
