What is the PNW Topic Hotlist? The PNW Topic Hotlist is a centralized, constantly updated listing of very recent blog entries related to certain hot topics, as culled from a number of different moderate or progressive politically slanted blogs in the Pacific NW area. The PNW Topic Hotlist can be embedded within any Web page, offering quick access to the blog entries on the hot topics. Since the content is constantly updated, the listed topics and blog entries will always vary, and the output will grow longer or shorter accordingly.
Can anybody insert the PNW Topic Hotlist in their Web page? Yes. If you believe the topics you've seen in the PNW Topic Hotlist are of interest to you, and you have a Web page or blog of your own we would be happy if you inserted the PNW Topic Hotlist in it, and that's what this page is here to help you do.

You can then generate the exact JavaScript you would need to embed in the Web page for the configuration you have chosen.

There are also a variety of CSS classnames that you can use to further control the styling of the output, in particular the font size. For example the pnwhotlisttable classname enables you to control the text of the entire Hotlist output, or you can individually control sections of text using the other classnames.
I'm having trouble configuring the width of the PNW Topic Hotlist displays? How a Web page is laid out changes how you should configure the width setting. Usually it is preferable to use a percentage, like 100% (don't forget to use the % sign!), and you should try that first. However, sometimes you are best served by setting a fixed width in pixels, in which case you simply enter the number of pixels.
I'd like to see my own blog postings listed in the PNW Topic Hotlist. Is that possible? Yes it is, but so as to ensure the contributors meet a standard of quality, appropriateness and activeness, each new contributor is added only after they have been evaluated for both the frequency and quality of their content. If you'd like to be considered use the contact info below to get in touch.
Who can I contact if something isn't working or I need help? You can contact Daniel Kirkdorffer from On The Road To 2008 if you have any problems or need further help.
