Would anyone like one?\n<li>::WK hands out keychains::\n<li>LW: If we invite software developers and Webmasters, maybe we can get some logo mugs. Let&#8217;s invite some.\n<li>LW: I want to use this group to learn things I don&#8217;t know.<br \/>\n<LI>LW: let&#8217;s invite some people to come talk to us.\n<\/ul>\n<li>SR &amp; <a href=\"http:\/\/frassle.rura.org\/\">Frassle<\/a> Alpha 7\n<ul>\n<li>Frassle is free, please try it.

I&#8217;d like to have one, but I don&#8217;t want to move my blog. Is it possible to encapsulate something like that on my blog?\n<ul>\n<li>SR: Why, yes! Yes, there is: the Frassle <a href=\"http:\/\/frassle.rura.org\/shimon\">Publisher<\/a>. If you paste certain code into your blog, you can get what you want. That&#8217;s how the Publisher works.\n<li>SR showed some of the programming for the Publisher people can use to set up what displays\n<\/ul>\n<li>LW: How do you spend time doing this stuff? Binges? Set blocks of time? What?\n<ul>\n<li>SR: Well, we had a bootcamp a few weeks ago. He&#8217;s so familiar with this stuff, he needs to find a way to get some distance, so he invited some friends over and they spent the weekend playing with Frassle.
