  • A variable content blog! Reload for a different message...


    Reload


    ...and if I left out the preluding explanation and the *Reload* button, how confusing might this be?


    But my point is not deception, but seemless variability. Using this technique would allow a "random" post to present itself to readers. Let's say I have four poems of equivalent merit that I want to put out. Instead of posting them all in the same post incoherently juxtaposed or posting them in consecutive posts where the "earlier" ones will get pushed down and tend to be ignored, I allow them all to serve themselves up on reload. This technique, I think, might prove useful if a blogger is going to take a break for a while but wants to provide his/her readership with the ability to return upon consecutive days to possibly get a flavor of something "new".


    Note: the code for this "chameleon blog" is found in the post below.
