  4. Dude, all well and good. But what if I wanted a slider that showed my last four posts? Those links are static, I would have to update them by hand.

    If I do a document.getElementByTagName('h3') to get an array of my post titles, it will fail because the gadget loads before the rest of the page. Do you have a solution for this problem? Thanks.
