My NewsGator Render Template

February 1, 2004

This template (sort of) makes the Post view within Outlook look like the “News Page” displayed when you select the root NewsGator folder.

To Install:

  1. Download the template [Marks_NewsGator.zip] (3kb).
  2. Unzip the files into your Newsgator\Render folder.
  3. Inside Outlook, Press the NewsGator button on the NewsGator toolbar, then select Options… from the drop down menu.
  4. Switch to the Rendering tab, and select “Marks_NewsGator” from the drop down list. (Note you can also set the rendering template up on a feed-by-feed basis, look at the NewsGator documentation for info on how to do this)
  5. Restart Outlook.

To get the text centered next to the NewsGator logo at the top I have had to use a 12px top margin. For some reason I couldn’ get the vertical-alignment: middle; CSS style working. If someone wants to have a look at the CSS and XSLT files for the template and tell me what i’m doing wrong I would greatly appreciate it, i’m still an infant when it comes to CSS.
