I have a limited number of child terms in a vocabulary, and I need to have a separate block for each term in the vocabulary, the term itself being the title, and a teaser of x words/characters of its latest node being the block content, with a more link that leads to that node.
I looked at modules that build menus from vocabularies and put them in blocks, but none of them can do what I need.
I've written a module that downloads headlines from a particular news source and then displays them in a block. The module gets run every half hour by a cron job. Every half hour, it checks for new headlines and stores them in a database table.
I'm planning on having many Drupal sites, perhaps 100 or more, use this module. It'd be wasteful and inelegant to have 100 different sites download the same data every 1/2 hour and store the same data in 100 different places databases.
waypath and google have nifty little bookmarklets that let you run a search based on the page/highlighted text. I turned them into a block. Drupal's not letting me post the html for you (what tags to I have to put it inside?) -- you can see the block at http://speakcyb.org/anize and get the html by viewing the page source.
