This is the first of probably a number of my posts that I'm directly porting from my Cohost. This was, to my knowledge, the first "CSS crime" on the site. I made it when I realized how broad the set of inline styles the site allowed, and this was the cleverest thing I could think to do with it. Others would quickly outstrip me, but I'm very pleased to have opened the floodgates.

I added the ability to automatically pull down and embed Cohost posts. I just paste the URL on its own line and my automation takes care of the rest (checking it in so it doesn't need to make a separate request each time the build runs). Hopefully this will be the first of many sites I do that with: I want to see if I can integrate the notion of the Tumblr-style "reblog" with a more traditional site-specific blog structure.
In celebration, please enjoy a post I still think back on and chuckle:
