Feedburner Stats with YQL
A short while ago (read: earlier today) I got the urge to add the (tiny!) subscriber count onto my blog here: mostly so that I can see the fluctuations without having to log into the Feedburner site and click around, but also to show the lucky few of you who do visit that you’re in esteemed company! Feedburner has a really nice little API which could be used directly except that I couldn’t find a JSON output format from it (to use via JavaScript) and, well, I wanted to keep playing with YQL. So here’s what I did.

YQL keeps improving
I missed this yesterday but the YQL team have pushed out a whole heap of changes to their awesome service.

Feed widget with YQL & jQuery
Over on my other site (Salathe, just a single page site) I felt that keeping the page static was a little bit boring: it needed some life injected into it. That life, I decided, would be a summary of my recent blog posts on here. They don’t come all too often but I figured it would be nice to syndicate them across there and maybe help people find out a bit more about me if they land on the Salathe site.
