right..  these are short stories..   I did download NetNewsWire.. and 
it will display the entire story.   But i'm sure the customer who the 
website is for.. would rather the visitor have to go to the site to 
VIEW the whole story..      maybe I'll change it to just display a few 
lines of the story.

Thanks for the suggestion on NetNewsWire.

It also helped to show some errors in my xml formatting, that didn't 
show up in SlashDock.
