Your rss news feed needs times and dates. Unfortunatly you have to edit this by hand each time you edit your project_news.inc file to add a new news item.

your rss feed; http://www.mindmodeling.org/beta/rss_main.php

You were doing this for your 3rd and 4th last news items but you stopped for the last two news items.

You have to edit - <pubDate>Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate> each time you post news.

If you don't add the time and date, some news readers don't pick up the new news stories.

John.

I'm not sure what you're referring to-- the publish dates are currently correct.

Tom,
As of today, 25th June 2009.

Your last news item dated 25th June 2009 is perfect!
***********
News items 2 and 3 have wrong dates. This is what is there for item 2 and 3;
<pubDate>Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate>

**************
News items 4 and 5 dated 18th May and 10th March are also perfect!

Check your your project_news.inc file and see if there is something different on those dates.

LOL....Are you Tom from MySpace? ...... Cool avatar, most popular guy in the world! LOL

John.

MySpace Tom,

One of these banners would look really good on the front page of your website.

MindModeling@home logo/banner



I made them for Jack over a year ago but i think he forgot about them. A nice banner would help to give your project some identity!

Just edit "index.php" in your html/user directory to add the image.

I can alter them if necessary

John.

Well, I didn't really have any "cool" pictures of myself to put as my avatar so I thought using the "Myspace Tom" photo would be pretty funny. I'm not sure how many people have noticed, but I'm glad you've caught on :)

As for the banner, I love it! We're looking at redesigning the website and a new banner would be perfect. If you don't mind, we might use the one you've provided, or even do a contest as suggested in your post.

Thanks for the time and contributions!
