The dynamic part can be done with JavaScript. The only limitation is accessing 
data from external domains. We can work around it in a few ways. 

1. Including externally hosted JS. E.g. Tapestry home page includes an external 
twitter widget. 

2. We can also periodically save a given external RSS feeds to a file on our 
server with a cron'd curl command, and then read it with JS hosted on our site.
