Using Blogs & Feed Readers to allow easily changable content on Webpages.
Writing about web page http://StJames.Whitley.googlepages.com/
Helping SMEs I frequently find websites that are stale and out-of-date. The problem is that these businesses lack the skills and resources to update their web presence.
I have been experimenting with the use of blogs as ‘news pages’ for websites. One example at my local church puts the news stories as posts on Blogger, www.stjames-whitley.co.uk uses Google Reader and displays the headlines on the website . This might seem to be unnecessary as the actual site is created using Google Page Creator which does not need web expertise. Page Creator does allow more complex code so this approach frees the design.
I have also experimented with a complete copy of this Blog on WMCCM’s ASP.NET site
On this page the Google Reader Javascript that works on most Blogs and sites is rejected. I did create a punchout link and combined the punchout within an IFRAME to encapsulate this whole Blog.
