First problem was I had no idea what the server path to the script was, I finely emailed my provider, and waited the three days it takes for them to get back to me, and then asked again when they answered the wrong question. The server path does not look even remotely like the URL. Then for some reason I completely missed the idea that I would have to rename my page, mylinks.html to mylinks.php. I thought only the daybyday_vertical.php had to be a php. If you go to my www.urie.us/mylinks.php and try to view the source, it won't do you any good. The source you will see is after the php has rewritten the code, not the actual html. aj urie I spent hours trying to figure out why I couldn’t get the script to work.

PHP is code that is processed by the server before it is sent to the browser, and thus requires a server that will process it. Blogspot just serves plain HTML, so the PHP code will not be processed. The script you are using on your site uses JavaScript. This is client-side code, that is processed by the user's browser. That is really your only option at Bloglines. It has several limitations as compared to the PHP code: namely that it doesn't always update at the right time, and also will display a blank strip, if Chris is late getting one posted. With a little work, you could get it to feed the URIs into the HTML output of my script. That would at least give you the benefits of the compact display modes for a sidebar. The official script provided at the site is copyrighted, so I am prevented from modifying it and distributing it to you, but the function that it performs (figuring out the current date and printing an image) cannot be copyrighted, so as long as I do the work for it on my own, there's no problem. I'll tell you what... I'm probably going to release the new version of the PHP script within the next week. I'll try to have a simplified JavaScript version as well. I'll post an update here when I do so. Russell,

I would like to try the horizontal left. Two questions: 1. do I need to embed the "expandable entries script" below the head and above horizontal left code? 2. Will this code bring in each day's cartoon automatically? Hope these aren't stupid questions. Your horizontal expansion of DayByDay is awesome. I would like to try the horizontal left.
