Although I update my Multiply site more often, my site at Bag of Spoons is still important to me. Luckily I can make them reflect each other using the wonders of RSS. This is what allows headlines from one site to appear on another. It's also the technology behind Bloglines which allows me to keep up with the latest from around 50 sites.
To make life easier someone produced RSS Digest that can produce a line of Javascript that will display a given feed in the format you require. I've used it to get the headlines from my blog on my Multiply front page. Works nicely apart from lacking dates and times. I'll look into that some time.
I also use RSS Digest to display my latest del.icio.us links and music listening over on my blog.
I need to look again at getting a feed from Multiply onto my blog. Apparently it's a bit non-standard and the links didn't work properly last time I tried.
BTW I've seen some people have managed to really change the look of their Multiply pages. Personally I'm not so into the eye candy. I'm more interested in getting the information across. I'd be interested if Multiply could handle adding more Semantic Web type details.
