cel,
An easy way to spawn multiple instances of the widget is to copy and rename the widget file itself so you have two actual copies of the widget running. For example, in your Widgets folder you would have the two following files:
"NY_Times_Reader.widget"
"NY_Times_Reader1.widget"
Just open them both up and you can view whatever two feeds you want.

Todd-
A terrific addition to my desktop. Would it be possible to run more than one copy of the widget? I currently have "Most E-mailed" as my choice, but I'd love to have the "Front Page" on my desktop, too.

Looking forward to other widgets. Thanks for thisone! / cel

UserZero,
Thanks for your feedback. I will look into including size preferences in the future.

Mike,
I tinkered around a bit and finally found a solution to the pesky apostrophe problem. Version 1.8 (once it is approved for the gallery) fixes it--no more weird boxes in the headlines!

Todd,

Great little Widget, but I have to ask, how come all RSS Reader Widgets don't feature resize code? I want a larger window, with some scale.

BTW - love the right click context menu option, really nice touch. Perhaps a little overkill for how many feeds there are, but I still love having the option.

Mike,
I have also noticed that issue lately. The New York Times has apparently changed their formatting for apostrophes. I've already tried to fix it, but to no avail; if I try to replace that "string" it crashes the widget! I'm hoping they just revert back to their old format (which was using a regular old apostrophe), but in the meantime, I'll make some more attempts. Thanks for letting me know. I'm glad you like the widget.
