I didn’t want to use animated gif because of the age of the technology.It’s obviously becoming easier. Basic Tips below, shows how to use the HTML META tag with http-equiv=”refresh”attribute set.

I decided to have another go as I was looking to consume some planet feeds on a static web page. I found Display Your Feed on a Static HTML Page Using FeedBurner’s BuzzBoost using Google and this points at Feedburner’s Buzzboost, which is part of their feed publicity toolset.

I have been interested in optimising HTML for small screens and/or using CSS as the vehicle. This has been driven by my personal publication properties and started at Sun with the then Sun Blog.
This page was originally written in 2009. The snip was originally called HTML. Obviously small screen devices have exploded in quantity since then. It’s a bigger problem and opportunity today. The bulk of this page was written in 2009, based on fact finding undertaken in 2008. As this wiki and its companion blog become the major platforms for my web presence, I have been reviewing how to deliver the content over small screens. I installed wptouch fairly quickly after I moved to self managed wordpress and at the end of 2013, wptouch was upgraded with a magnificent look and feel.I tweeted,

Also see my Add This page. This was the name in the bliki, but I used both share and add this in the side bar.
I created this page to test scripts published by http://addthis.com. It was originally created on the Qube. See below, Early Experiments for what I wrote at the time, all probably useless now. I have installed their widget and so even lower down on this page, after the article , are add this’s sharing buttons. I returned to the issues they answer in Feb 2015. It should be noted that at that time on the blog I use custom code implemented in the child theme, since I moved to Nulis I am using a vanilla implementation of Add This, on the wiki.
