I really liked the simplicity of the Toronto Star’s website when it went down yesterday so I decided to create a quick page that grabs their top stories via RSS feed (using simplexml_load_file) and outputs that information in a nice, clean manner.
I could probably implement something like this into FeedMe but I will leave that for another day. Another possible feature would be to grab the Toronto Star’s feed along with The National Post, The Globe and Mail, and other Toronto newspapers as well.
While the functioning Toronto Star website provides a lot more information, things still seem a little too cluttered for my liking. The Federal Budget ‘offline’ version can still be viewed here. A comparison photo of the online/offline versions can be seen to the right.
