width:100px;
height:75px;

-moz-opacity:0.80;
-khtml-opacity:0.8 }
</style>

<script type='text/javascript'> 
//<![CDATA[ 
function labelthumbs(json){document.write('<div>');for(var i=0;i<numposts;i++){var entry=json.feed.entry[i];var posttitle=entry.title.$t;var posturl;if(i==json.feed.entry.length)break;for(var k=0;k<entry.link.length;k++){if(entry.link[k].rel=='replies'&&entry.link[k].type=='text/html'){var commenttext=entry.link[k].title;var commenturl=entry.link[k].href;} 
if(entry.link[k].rel=='alternate'){posturl=entry.link[k].href;break;}}

{s=entry.content.$t;a=s.indexOf("<img");b=s.indexOf("src=\"",a);c=s.indexOf("\"",b+5);d=s.substr(b+5,c-b-5);if((a!=-1)&&(b!=-1)&&(c!=-1)&&(d!="")){thumburl=d;} 
else thumburl='';} 
document.write('<a href="'+posturl+'" title="'+posttitle+'"><img class="label_thumb" src="'+thumburl+'"/></a>'); 
if(i!=(numposts-1)) 
document.write('');} 
document.write('</div>');} 
//]]> 
</script>

<script type='text/javascript'>var numposts = 4;</script> 
<script type="text/javascript" src="/feeds/posts/default/-/Blogging+Tips?orderby=updated&alt=json-in-script&callback=labelthumbs"></script>
