Looks like they have just slightly changed the stylesheet used on that website.

All you have to do is change the very start of the RegExp= statement from:

(?siU)<h3>IP Address to locate:

to

(?siU)<h2>IP Address to locate:

And it seems to work fine again. I have fixed the tutorial and the download there.

The short answer to your overall question is "sure". However you are going to have to parse the site to find and capture the value you are looking for using a RegExp= statement, and then build the meters to display it.
