latest improvements of the javascript rss box viewer: "compact view" switch to omit the item description (if possible, ie. if there's an item title) of each channel item. this way you only get the titles as links to the appropriate story. moreover, i have implemented support for some dublin core tags in rss 1.0, e.g. dc:creator and dc:date.

update: additionally, in "compact view" also no rss image is displayed – even if it should be available.
