Mucky Tundra;458909To piggy back off of what AbbaGav said, is there a way to seperate the normal stuff vs SportsSpyder? The SportSpyder seems to grab a little bit of everything that's recent (before I went to bed that night, I looked at the headlines and it was all pretty recent stuff) but pushes the fan made content (CheeseheadTV, Acme Packer Company etc) off or creates an unnecessary duplicate. SportSpyder also seemed to be grabbing Milwaukee Sentinel Journal but some of their stuff is locked behind a subscription.
I disabled the SportSpyder feed altogether. It is not working how I wanted and I like to have control over things. They do not provide the original source link to the material and that's a no for me.

Zero2Cool;458884Thank you.
I was trying to find a way to add more headlines from more sources. It appears they haven't done better at collecting headlines than what was already being done. I also can't figure out how to get a direct link to the source vs going to their website and THEN the original source. I'm not a fan of that.
Your attempt to make the website better is greatly appreciated.
The Spider thread reminds me of Yahoo Sports. It pulls in articles from various sources too. It's a quick and easy way to find material but you have already succeeded in doing so. Perhaps look at the places Spider reviews and add the ones we don't already have to the Headlines crawler.
