I dream in HTML, but still have trouble with BBcode now and then, so I think that’s a valid concern.

However, once someone learns it, it’s just one more milestone on the road to online success that they have accomplished. We all had to get past that at some point.

I assume by now that you have found that the Feedburner Headline Animator graphics automatically update.

I kind of like the animated headlines, but I can appreciate your preference for multiple headlines showing.

At one point, before Google acquired Feedburner, I experimented with building my own automatically updating graphics using perl and some graphics libraries I found. I did it because I wanted the graphics in a size that Feedburner didn’t offer. I got it working, but it was a real pain, and I never deployed it except on a couple of test sites.

Once I felt comfortable that Feedburner would continue to be around, I tied my wagon to their horses, so to speak.

I’m finding that I don’t use Headline Animator nearly as much as I used to, however. Don’t really know why.

Thanks for bringing these neat things to our attention, Mike.

I like the advantage of people being able to get the html and the bb code. Now for you adn I that probably isn’t a big thing but for a lot of my readers bb code can be Greek. Just chack any forum for how many questions there are about how to use it.

I also like showing multiple headlines at once over animated headlines cycling through. Just my opinion though.

Have you tried the Headline Animator at Feedburner.com? You can create multiple animated Gifs for your RSS feeds.

It works similarly to what you show, and Feedburner.com is tested and reliable.

Act on your dream!
