I am Technical Stud! (I think) After I typed the post below, it dawned on me to do a search for "RSS Javascript". Sure enough, up popped a javascript RSS reader - from Pikie Pikie. So, I plugged that javascript code right into my code and voila!!! It worked like a champ! I think. The proof in the pudding will be tomorrow. If tomorrow's RSS feed is rendered, then it's official - I am Technical Stud. If not, then it's official - I am a Technical Dud... 8:18:11 PM    comment []

Technical Difficulties continued After a little bit of research on my little problem of trying to dynamically display an RSS feed of the funny pages, a web fundamental dawned on me: web pages are static entities. I was using a Radio macro to display the RSS feed. Well the Radio macro is only executed once - when the page is upstreamed/"published". After that, the page is static with the image that was rendered when the page was upstreamed. sigh.. It is now clear that if I want to make this dynamic, I need to use Javascript. duh... So, I just need to figure out what Java script is necessary to display an RSS feed and then I'm in business. 8:00:12 PM    comment []
