  • Doesn't work

    Doesn't work (anymore). I've tried different things, but it just doesn't work. I'll change my rating to 5 stars as well when it works!

  • Good plugin, but need CRON

    Author, amasing plugin, but please add auto-update content every hour, that would be great.

  • Works great!

    I use it to parse info from another site to display draw date and current jackpot for a lottery draw, and it works well! I have to invoke the plugin twice with different parameters to get the two pieces of info, but it doesn't appear to slow my site down appreciably. I couldn't find any other free plugin that would do this, and I like the fact that it's very few lines of code, so there's little to go wrong.
