Someone needs to make an AZ RSS feed.

or you know, you could make your own program that checks the latest news/comic instead of having the comicalcreator have to do all the work.

a few lines of php code and all you would need to do is visit one page to see them all.

poli- prefix meaning many

ticks - meaning "blood sucking creatures"

Hello, new reader here.

So, any chance of an official RSS feed happening? The one posted by Don_HH2K stopped updating a while back.

I do believe that the path of least resistance is http://www.rsspect.com/. All that needs to be done after the initial sign-up is the addition of a few HTML tags to the posts on your home page.

How the code works: http://www.rsspect.com/markup.php
A demo: http://www.rsspect.com/markup-example.html

I'm fairly certain that the most recent addition, rendered in rsspect-compatible form, would look like the following:

Code:

<font color="#000000" face="verdana" size="2"><font size="2"><br><br>
</font></font><p><font color="#000000" face="verdana" size="2"><font size="2"><font size="1"><u><b>
<span class="rss-title">
April 21st, 2008
</span>
</b></u>

<a href="http://www.awkwardzombie.com/comic1-042108.php">
<img src="http://www.awkwardzombie.com/newsnav1-1.gif" border="0"></a>

<!-- <span class="rss-link">http://www.awkwardzombie.com/comic1-042108.php</span> -->

<font size="2">
<span class="rss-content">
<br>Another WoW comic, against my better judgement. Nobody seems to like them except some 
people who actually play WoW, and nobody cares about <i>their</i> opinions. Oh well!
<br>I just like the idea of handing a silk robe to a blacksmith and expecting something 
useful to happen.
</span>

The addition of the <span> tags is what makes the magic happen. I haven't tested it (obviously), but an empty <span class="rss-content"></span> might be necessary before the post begins. It doesn't seem so based on their directions, but it's possible.

Other things, like inserting images, are also possible. The demo gives a fairly good idea of what can be done.

Okay, this isn't super pretty, and is totally based on the current HTML of the front page and might break next week, but I generated one using Feed43. It takes all the news items off the front page, serves up the date of post, a link to the new comic and the news posting.

http://feed43.com/6400188233005406.xml

I initially tried to get a feed to read off comic1.php but gave up after a while, it seemed to just read the main page more easily. Hope this is useful for other folks!

On the subject of AZ features, why does the website not have a favicon?

I don't know, but if you're as anal about every bookmark having an icon to go with it as I am, here is a pair of favicons for this site.

http://www.favicon.cc/?action=icon&file_id=103989 (the weird "double T" symbol)

and

http://www.favicon.cc/?action=icon&file_id=103993 (the "Z in the A" text)

You'll likely need to add them in yourself, which is probably asking a bit much. Luckily there's a Firefox add-on that makes the process very simple. Just right-click a bookmark and change the favicon by uploading one from your computer in the Properties menu of said bookmark.

It can be found here:

That is all, thank you.

You know, this seems like a good idea (for me at least).
Thank you sir or madam.

And it's not "the weird 'double T' symbol" it is the Pi symbol.

AWKWARD ZOMBIE
