JavaScripting a feed into static HTML
I'd been idly thinking about how to include a feed into an otherwise static page. Then I ran across RSS-xpress.
You add a smidgeon of script to the static page and your browser loads a table containing the RSS feed, such as your blog, from RSS-xpress. You can handle the formatting through CSS, and it's in a div if you want columns for example.
RSS-xpress is pretty limited. You configure only the formatting, and you get whatever's in the feed. No other control, since the browser's just getting the table generated from their server. But it sure doesn't require much development on your part.
