I updated the static snapshot with some changes in the content but mainly the CSS. http://quaid.fedorapeople.org/websites/index-rss.html This style has multiple feeds in one column, with some feeds pulling only one update. For FWN, this works to put up one entry that changes weekly. Today I noticed when I rebuilt the page that the same entry for this week's FWN was up from the FWN feed and the fedora-announce-list feed. This is the state I captured in the current static page. I tried setting a bottom-border style for the <li> element, but the way the Python renders the page generates a new <li> for each item in a feed. This put a line under each title, which wasn't really needed for readability, and didn't show any separation of feeds within one column. Instead I used <hr> with a style wrapped in the #content <div>. The <hr> is brought in contained in an <li></li>. This nicely forces a line between actual <li> elements in the source that separate the actual feed calls. It's an OK hack. How does it look visually? I tried it in white and the current dark gray. In all of this, I updated the dashed lines to dotted, to match the rest of the page style. I'll note here that all of this is solved in the single-column style that was put forth previously. I'm beginning to get interested in doing a single column version, as it would be useful under the banner widget on start.fp.o. In a single column, we can stack feed titles with the feed source: Planet Fedora Post title 1 Post title 2 Post title 3 News FWN Announcements f-announce-l feed f-dev-announce feed Fedora Stories Post title 1 Post title 2 Red Hat Magazine Post title 1 Post title 2 Dev Fu Post title 1 ...
