This one took some extra work to keep it looking nice. The flash textarea component can only interpret a subset of the html tags the newsroom uses, so I had to manually strip out certain characters. It would make sense to propagate that part of the code into the rest of the widgets.

This was a pretty straight-forward integration of SlideShowPro and our existing XML feeds. The tricky part was consolidating the most recent feeds into an OPML format that SSP could interpret, which I did manually by creating a new template inside pubsys. That gives the functionality of multiple days being seen as independent albums, and staying up to date with the most recent week's worth of photos.
