Wanna know something cool that I learned? I was looking at the list of Live Journal syndicated feeds and learned that Theater Hopper’s syndication feed is #271 on the list. And that’s for ALL the internet, baby! Pretty cool!
Sure, we might not be like Mitch and be #19 onthe list , but #271 is pretty good, too!
The one thing that irks me, though…Al-Jazeera was number #228 on the list. That doesn’t seem right, does it?
Let’s see if we can get the TH syndication feed above Al-Jazeera, can we? Just follow this link and add us to your LiveJournal friends page so that you can see all the comic and blog updates as soon as they are posted to the site.
Or… y’know…the terrorists win, ‘n stuff…

Does anyone out there know anything about RSS feeds? I’d like to change up how the one for Theater Hopper functions.
If you check out how our feed is being displayed over at LiveJournal, you’ll see that there is an entry for every blog post along with a link back to the site. There is also a second entry for each comic, but with no image. Just the same link back to the site.
What I would like to do is somehow marry the two. I would like the first blog post to have the comic in it. So the order of the information would be the comic at the top followed by the first blog post all contained in one entry. Subsequent blog posts would be given their own entry without the comic image. Maybe if we added a link back to the site at the bottom of the post or somehow made a hotlink of the comic image back to the site, that would be a nice thing to include.
If you have any experience with this, please contact me at theaterhopper@hotmail.com.

So I was combing through LiveJournal’s list of syndicated feeds looking for the RSS feed for LifeHacker to add to my friends list.
Imagine my glee when I discovered the Theater Hopper RSS feed is the 232nd most popular feed listed! Take THAT, Scary Go Round!
I don’t know why I’m so invested in the Theater Hopper RSS feed lately. I just am.
Maybe if you have a LiveJournal account, you’ll add us to your friends list?
C’mon! Let’s see if we can be 231 by the end of the month! ;-D

Does anyone out there have any experience writing code for RSS through WordPress? I wanted to make a change to how the comic displays through the RSS feed and I need someone to double-check my coding before I attempt to put it into production and screw everything up.
If you have any experience in this regard, please contact me at theaterhopper@hotmail.com or leave your comments below.

While I have everyone’s attention, I need a little help with a problem I’m having with the coding of the Theater Hopper RSS feed.
I tried posting the code into this blog post, but WordPress tried to make the code functional. So I had to take these screencaps instead.
This is code inside the WordPress functions.php file. It’s what helps control the RSS plus other aspects of the site. This is the RSS comic display code as it currently appears:
Here is the code as I have attempted to update it:
In both cases, you want to look at the code that comes after “//foo” because that’s where I’ve made my changes.
Basically what I’m trying to do is take the code that displays the WHOLE comic in the RSS feed and place it inside a “DIV” tag as a background image. The “DIV” is sized to 265px tall – roughly half the height of the finished comic. Below it is another “DIV” with copy and a link instructing people to visit the main site if they want to see the rest of the comic.
I know I’m overlooking something small. A misplaced apostrophe, a comma or something. But I’m not familiar enough with PHP coding to troubleshoot it effectively.
Is there anyone out there that can help me with this, look over my code and provide suggestions? I would appreciate it!
