Everyone's doing it, why not you?

I'm referring of course to displaying Slashdot headlines in a sidebar on
your site. To help you fit in, I've slightly updated Andrew Kuchling's
Slashdot headline display code to work easily with Zope. 

http://www.zope.org/Download/Contrib/slashdot.py

It's an External Method that checks slashdot for updated headlines and
stores them as attributes of a Folder. Then you can use DTML to display
them any way you want.

If you're looking for a simple (and useful ;-) External Method example,
look no further.

Have fun.

P.S. Don't forget External Method documentation is available.
