Hi,
I'm working on creating an interactive timeline that includes the RSS feeds from several blogs. I've been experimenting with the Rome Feeder library to import the titles of each blog entry to the timeline. The examples that the author of the Rome Feeder library provided are very limited and I would like to know more about how to use it in other ways than they have presented. Simply put, my code thus far has included the timeline with squares that you can click to show different entries but I cannot get just one title from each blog post onto each one of the buttons. I have only been able to get the text to appear using
entry=feeder.next();
Calvin Whitehurst
if(entry !=null)
text(entry.getTitle(),15,110,360,230);
on the second button.
entry=feeder.next(); is not what I want because all it does is draw all of the blog entry titles and then ends without displaying anything.
The other issue I have is how to grab these blog entries URLs and make them available when you click these blog titles, I haven't even attempted to do this yet because I haven't found any examples of someone doing this.
here is my code thus far
if this makes any sense please hook me up with some possible solutions
