Daily Dose

by Darrel

Daily Dose will serve up your favorite comic strip within a configurable Widget! No specific comic strip is targeted. Instead, instructions are included to allow the user to specify their own instrument of mirth.

Once the preferences have been pointed to your favorite comic strip, the Widget will make a daily update to ensure that you never miss a "funny".

Rejoice in the glory! The widget now tracks and displays up to 3 separate comic strips.

    I am having trouble with trying to get a comic for White Ninja comics. Here are my settings:

    Strip Title: White Ninja Comics
    Strip Author: Scott Bevan and Kent Earle
    Home URL: http://www.whiteninjacomics.com/
    Comic Archive URL: http://www.whiteninjacomics.com
    Image String: /comics.shtml

    Will someone please help me? When my computer tries to load the comic, it says it cannot capture the image. Please help me someone!

    I have just received approval to add syndicated strips to this widget without making you go find your own parameters!

    Daily Dose started out as a widget to retrieve Dilbert comic strips. I have been enjoying that widget for quite some time. However, it was rejected because of gallery policy concerning syndicated material.

    With the arrival of Yahoo, that policy has changed! We may now include direct links to syndicated material. I had just about completed a new version of this widget. I will de More

    There's bug that when switching between differently sized comics, the image is stretched or squashed. For example, switch between Dilbert and Garfield.

    Other than that, I love this widget and look forward to future updates. And here are some suggestions:

    • Make the list of comics (hoping that you'll add support for more than three) a drop-down list.

    • Build in presets that users can easily select the comic that they want without entering the settings themselves.

    I'd love to kno More

    I wanted more than 3 comics, so I just copied and renamed Daily_Dose.widget to Daily_Dose2.widget in 'My Widgets' directory and now I have 2 sets of 3 - ie six different comics, and it looks great on a dual monitor system in conjunction with the transpose key... F8 = instant comics pages!

    So? is the CIAA (Comics Industry of America Association) going to come after me for being over quota ? :P :D
