As I was planning the Ralph Art website redesign, I always had as part of my master plan setting up a blog. Elsewhere I've had a Blogspot blog for several years (it shall go nameless for reason apparent for those of you who have visited it) and wanted to set one up and integrate it with the new site.
I just spent the morning (as well as a major part of last night) going in and heavily modifying the Blogspot template html so the look and feel matched the site. I did leave the Blogspot bar along the top (could have removed it, but Terms of Service and all...) but other that I've got a pretty good match.
The latest piece was my discovery last night (around 1:00 AM) that Google has created an AJAX API that allows one to insert RSS feeds into web pages using JavaScript. That may not mean a lot to non-codeheads, but it's a pretty amazing feat. I spent considerable time a couple of weeks ago around trying to do the same sort of thing, encountering considerable obstacles.
Now, loyal visitors and or the curious can see a short digest of recent blog posts right on the main page of the Ralph Art website.
Once again, Thank You Google!
