Remote script box:
- "Run a remote script and display the results inside this box. Anything your script writes to stdout (standard out) will be displayed inside the box. Run at your own risk!"
- Can't really try it without having some code to enter... I know that Nicole will play with it some more...
- For more info, see: http://support.springshare.com/2008/05/remote-script-libguides-content-box/
Podcast feed box:
- "Podcast box type enables you to display the contents of a podcast feed on your page. Note that this doesn't download the actual audio of the podcast - it just provides the link to it"
- Asks you to enter a URL; used http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/6772
for Ellen's podcasts. You get to choose how many show - Some of the characters don't display correctly
- Hovering over the link shows the full description
- You can subscribe to the feed from the box, or go to the website (in this case, it goes to Ellen's pages.) You can't tell it which links to use.
Web Links:
- "Simple web links can have short description which appears when the user hovers over the link, and you can track the usage statistics (outgoing clicks) for these links."
