[WEB4LIB] RE: Library blog question

[Drew, Bill]

The lead time is to allow me to redesign our webpages to contain the RSS
feeds.  The major idea behind the blog is to add dynamic content to our
website.  I am using javascript, RSS2HTML, and RSS feeds to do that. I
also want content there when it comes up.  This blog is focused on SDI
(selective dissemination of information).  It is also my first opens
source project.  I am using the KISS approach.  More will follow later!
