The headline feature doesn't seem to be working. When I click on "sample" in the settings page, the resulting Headlines sample is empty. When I cut and paste the code into the HTML of a web site, that space is also empty - other than the heading I put into the DIV container.
I have both a premium subscription to the online services and the Outlook version. I disabled the automated downloads to Outlook, and let my feeds "refresh" for 24 hours before testing again; with the same empty results.
Thanks in advance.

I just checked headlines and they're working on my account. What do you have in the text box before you click sample - did you change it from the default. Also, what you paste into your site should be
<script src="http://services.newsgator.com/ngws/headlines.aspx?uid=13&mid=2"></script>
not the code in the text box.

Yes I copied the <script> code into my page. Though since the sample doesn't work either, that's not the problem. BTW, I tried headlines before, some time ago - didn't work then for my account. This is just the first I became serious about using them.
Headlines sample don't work in any of my locations, even ones without a change to the text box formatting.
I tried your code that you included in your post in my site. Works just fine.
Here's what I have...
div class="rightSideItem"
h3>TeleInterActive News /h3>
<script src="http://services.newsgator.com/ngws/headlines.aspx?uid=985&mid=7"></script>
h3>Gordon's News/h3>
<script src="http://services.newsgator.com/ngws/headlines.aspx?uid=13&mid=2"></script>
/div> !-- end rightSideItem for Newsgator Headlines -->
You can take a look at the result here, in the right column... No TeleInterActive News, BUT we do now have Gordon's News. ;-)
http://interasc.com/CMS/
For the TIA Life location in Newsgator, I have the check box checked
Check here to enable Headlines settings for this location.
I have the following for formatting in TIA Life
p>
a href='$link$'>$title$
$description$
$datetime$ [$feedname$]
/p>
[Though I would prefer to be using list items in an unordered list.]
[I took out the left angle brackets opening the tags so that the forum would not render them]
Enter the number of posts to be displayed by the headline script: 10
Radio button set to
Limit the size of each post to a maximum of 100
On the main Locations page for TIA Life
OPML (public)
New subscriptions will NOT be automatically added to this location.
Gordon, thank you for your response. I hope we can get this resolved before we go live with our new site in the next few days.

That doesn't seem to be the problem.
I took out the [leftAngleBracket]br> from the default formatting in the text box. So, now that looks like this...
[leftAngleBracket]p>
[leftAngleBracket]a href='$link$'>$title$ $description$ $datetime$ [$feedname$]
[leftAngleBracket/p>
[Replacing the < with [leftAngleBracket] so that the forum doesn't render the tags]
I even tried...
[leftAngleBracket]p>[leftAngleBracket]a href='$link$'>$title$ $description$ $datetime$ [$feedname$][leftAngleBracket/p>
Still no sample showing, still no headlines on the page.
BTW, we're testing in IE5.5 & 6, FF 0.9 and 1., Opera and Netscape - all with the same result.
If the script for your headlines didn't work, I would say there was a problem on our end. But given that your script shows up [see Gordon's News] and the one from my account doesn't; I have to think something is wrong with my account.
The headlines I wish to use on our site come from a location I created named TIA Life; but I've also just tested the standard Newsgator Web Edition location by exposing the OPML as public, and checking the check box to enable headlines. No sample or headlines there either. The web edition location contains all of my feeds. The TIA Life edition only contains news articles and blogs with RSS feeds related to collaboration, mobile & wireless and data analytics from CIO, Infoworld [premium feed - would that make a difference?] eWeek, Podgadget and the like.
Thanks for chekcing into this, Gordon.

I just loaded a fix to the template formatting, so linebreaks and quotes will be automatically fixed up, but now there's another bug underneath this: if one of your feed names has a double quote in it, it'll break the javascript we generate. In your case, your keyword search for "Mobile and Wireless" is breaking the script.
I've coded up a fix for this but I need some time to get this tested. For now, the workaround would be to exclude feeds with double quotes in the feed name from the location you created. I'll update when I can get a firm date to load the fix.

Gordon,
thank you for working on this.
The keyword searches aren't part of the location whose headlines I'm using - or shouldn't be checked. EDIT: Oops, my mistake, they were checked. I've taken them out and TIA Life location headlines now appear on the site
Also, I had my partner start an account with Newsgator. She used my OPML to import my TIA Life location feeds into her account. And the headlines script from her account, using those feeds, work fine.
So, the TIA News headlines don't appear, btw, your script no longer produces any output on our site, but Clarise's works.
