Syntax Highlighting your Blog with highlight.js
Go to Software Maniac's download page. Turn off the languages you're not interested in. Check the checkbox for Smalltalk. And hit the download button. You'll get a new customized highlight.js file for your efforts. You need this customized version because it doesn't support Smalltalk in the stock version.
Then just insert that javascript file into your page, and start using it. If you need directions for Blogger specifically, they're in Travis' post.
Charts With Cairo and Smalltalk

Polycephaly Take 2
Michael has put up a pretty detailed post on the lessons learned from the initial cut at Polycephaly - and what he and a few other engineers at Cincom have done for take 2:
So, the technical debt on Polycephaly finally reached a turning point when a review was written on the VWNC mailing list and I was resolved to fix the problems. And what luck, I had an engineering trip planned to travel to Ottawa where two of my colleagues live, and then to Victoria (Vancouver Isle.) where another one of my colleagues live. It just so happens that these colleagues could help me and face to face time is invaluable. I present to you Xtreams-Grid, a VisualWorks and ObjectStudio solution for working with multiple images on your local machine and across a network.
Follow the link for lots more details, including the features list.

Authentication in Seaside 3.0
James Foster explains how to do user specific rendering in Seaside:
Seaside has the built-in ability to use HTTP Authentication to restrict an application to a specific user/password. The method WAAdmin class>>#’register:asApplicationAt:user:password:’ registers the application with WAAuthenticationFilter as a filter and provides a single user and password that must be provided in order to view the initial page. This provides some password security, but does not differentiate among allowed users (e.g., everyone will use the same ‘admin’ user name).
