Oldest human footprints found on volcano [New Scientist] Trace fossils in the news! Trace fossils are the tracks and trails of life preserved in rock. The science of ichnology studies trace fossils. Often, traces of life tell us more about behavior than body fossils. These early hominid traces may tell a great deal about the behavior and evolution of modern man. 12:41:47 PM     Comment []

I have put up an example of the Manila News Aggregator on my development site. I have noticed one bug where internal links are set as the news item title (see Naglee Park News). It doesn't look like this bug is in the new Manila code but rather in the code that generates the RSS feed. I would love to get greater control over the macro output. Users should be able to control how things look on the page. At a minimum, we should have some CCS classes that we can work with (ie newsAggregatorTitle, newsAggregatorStory). 12:02:37 PM     Comment []
