RSS for recent items + mini Frappr map

I came across a couple text files containing blog entries I'd meant to make but never got round to. This one's from 8 February this year.

A recent entry in Stephen Readman's blog pointed me in the direction of the JavaScript RSS box viewer which provides a form for entering the URL of an RSS feed and producing HTML for a box displaying recent items.

For example, by plugging in the URL of the RSS feed for ITauthor Notes (http://www.itauthor.com/notes/index.xml) I got this:

Which, apart from the problem with the first entry, is very nice.

Another thing I came across today. Frappr have added a page that gives you the HTML for adding your Frappr map to your own Web site:

var frappr_mapheight = 300;
var frappr_mapwidth = 300;
var frappr_maplat = 33.5903395;
var frappr_maplon = -7.612424;
var frappr_mapzoom = 15;
var frappr_host = "http://www.frappr.com/";var gid = 64474;

Thanks to those of you who have added pins recently.
