"RIOT is a series of subsystems that work together to create a comprehensive source of scraped information. Components include:
* item <brief description>
* item <brief description>
* item <brief description>

make sense?
maybe. send me WP access credentials if you're willing to so I can see if I can pimp the search.
then you can work on the other thing heh

the search is ludicrously easy if we can just edit javascript. We're not trying to do much, just type a word, push a button, and compre the word against a list of words
it doesn't haven't index or search a database or any of that garbo
and the results will be instantaneous. But one has to be able to do custom JS
what wordpress is trying to do by default is search an index of files for a keyword. That's fine, it'll find them. If the agent name is there, it'll return a hit to all pages on which that agent name appears. But it's going to look gross, and it's not going to go straight to the entry
another option would be to create a separate page for every screenshot, listing the name of each agent on that page, and ensuring that those pages appear on the search results ahead of the 'roster' pages - so that if you search for an agent name, you go straight to a page that has a screenshot of that agent's name
but the best thing would be a simple javascript that pops up a little alert box with the agent name and a hyper link to the image where that agent is evidenced.
but...we're also gilding the lily here. The search is a nifty hook, but it's not essential.

REALLY sorry to point out something else, but the bottom image on the "anatomy of a hit" page doesn't embiggen... should it?

That's strange to me that it handles images so rigidly like that
CH

you can keep it small, but if you do, load the source image to an external image host (imgur.com for instance) and make the thumbnail a link that opens in a new window to the hyperlink target.

Are we tinyurl-ing the site?
CH
Charlie Arnold
um..yes. I think the way to do it is to leave the inline HTML table in place, but provide a header link (view as google spreadsheet)

OK, my brain is failing me at this point. Time for sweet, sweet sleep. I have to say I'm actually somewhat surprised by some of the absences from the list, moreso than some of those who are present. But damn. Impressive membership list there.

Puzzlingly -- and there may be a perfectly good explanation for this, code wise -- when a page of the site first loads, just for a split second, it's in the font from before and then it turns into the current sans-serif font
