Yes, that's right! You asked for it, so here it is!<P>Of course, this is an unofficial newsbox. Pretty soon, the Keenspace gurus will make a Newsbox that's way better than mine, but until then...use this one!<P>Installing this WONDERFUL newsbox is very simple...just insert the following lines of HTML wherever you want it to be on your page:<P><TABLE WIDTH="200" BORDER="2">

<TR>

<TD>

<SCRIPT
LANGUAGE="Javascript"
SRC="http://davidandjohn.keenspace.com/ksnews.js"></SCRIPT>

</TD>

&lt/TR>

&lt/TABLE><P>That's it! It's that simple! It'll look something like this:<P><TABLE WIDTH="200" BORDER="2">
<TR>
<TD>
OK, so the Keen forums do not allow embedded Javascript. For an example, view my comic at <A HREF="http://davidandjohn.keenspace.com" TARGET=_blank>http://davidandjohn.keenspace.com</A>
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE><P>There! Now, if I made some boneheaded mistake, or if you want me to change what your newsbox entry says, (you can have it changed periodically like the Keenspot newsbox, I don't mind...) or if you want to have YOUR strip on this wonderful box, OR if you just want to tell me how great I am, post it at my <A HREF="http://www.keenspace.com/cgi-bin/ubb/fo ... LastLogin="" TARGET=_blank>forum</A>.<P>Yee! That is all.<P>------------------

Great work, Chris! Thank you so much.<P>A question, though: Whadda ya think about imposing a maximum width limit on the images people use? If I put the newsbox where I want to (in a side table) The <i>Methodical Madness</i> image stretches the bejeezus out of it, and distorts the whole page.<P>The KeenSpot newsbox appears to use one standard size for its images.<P>Just a thought. Again, fantastic job!<P><P>------------------

To answer your questions...<P>Lee Herold: Yes, I did put a limit on the width. (150 pixels) I thought that all the images were the same or less than that. I'll have to check up on that.<P>drollstreet: Yup, you're there. Everybody that signed up thus far is on it.
