Writing New Modules for WebFetch

To write a new WebFetch module for any site on the web, you'll need...

module name - give it a good descriptive name
fetch function - turn a site's web page or news file into a data table
module parameters - set any default parameters you need
command-line parameters - set some variables to declare your own
authors - make sure to add your name to the "Authors" credits (but leave others' names there too if you used any else's code)
export function - no longer needed as of WebFetch 0.10 with the Embedding API
