  1. Go to http://www.newseum.org/todaysfrontpages/main.asp to find the newspaper you want.
  2. Click on the link to go to the newspaper's page.
  3. The page URL should look like
    http://www.newseum.org/todaysfrontpages/?tfp_display=list&tfp_id=XX_XX&ref_pge=lst
    where the text after "tfp_id= and before &... (if present) will be a code for the specific newspaper.

[edit]
  1. The front page of the Tampa Bay Times is at
    http://www.newseum.org/todaysfrontpages/?tfp_id=FL_TIMES&ref_pge=lst
  2. Copy the text after tfp_id=, FL_TIMES, and then use it as the template's main parameter
    {{Newseum front page|FL_TIMES}}
  3. The result is
