@justjim1220 This is how my config looks now. I’m assuming that I need to add the, headline.className = “bold small bright”; ****

               {

Thanks for helping me out with this!

No, with the update it is no longer needed, when you do the git pull && npm i it should be fixed to the right size

@justjim1220 Deleted directory and did the git pull && npm. Now NewsFeedTicker isn’t working at all. It’s in config.js and looks just like it did before.

@justjim1220 Jim, nevermind. I got it working. Helps to put it in the modules directory. Looks great! Thanks for all your help. Now to see what else I can break. Need to learn more about how to program this stuff.

@dgregory19
Glad you figured it out! :slightly_smiling_face:

I have made that mistake many times, probably everyone has at some point I suppose. :winking_face:

@justjim1220 Quick question, would you know if there is a news feed for the Harvard Bussness Review?

justjim1220

@dgregory19
It looks like you have to be a subscriber to the site

Yes there is…it’s in xml format and it’s right here:

@cowboysdude
I found that also, and I could not get it to work
Further research showed you have to be a subscriber to receive the RSS feeds
