I was recently asked how a user could publish dynamic content to an otherwise static Web page. The user wanted to show a list of meeting minutes on his Web page that automatically updates from a remote source. My answer was to use Yahoo! Pipes to create an embeddable widget. Once the widget code is created and inserted into the static web page, it will remain automatically updated whenever the source of the pipe changes. So far, we have created two pipes. One of them parses a Blogger RSS feed and presents relevant items in a list view. The content expert can update the blog, and the changes are reflected in the Web site without requiring a full author-edit-publish cycle. Here is the process:

1. New information is published on the blog.
2. When the pipe is next run, this change is detected via its feed.
3. The pipe badge is embedded in the target Web page, so it is run whenever the page is loaded.
