\n","faq":"\n

How many Power Boxes can I use?

You may use multiple power boxes at once. But too many boxes may slow down because WP has to be busy fetching all the remote URLs.

Is it safe to embed third party contents?

As a matter of rule, do not point to untrusted source.

What are the possible implementations?

Quotation of the day is a very generic example. You can link it to third party notices, advertisements, Twitter feeds, Forex Rates, Pictures, … and almost anything else.

Do I need to create my Content Server?

If the existing services and available APIs do not work, you should. It is actually very simple. A dedicated url that servers a tiny piece of HTML/Javascript/CSS output is enough. Do not limit your imaginations.

How can I create my own Micro Content Server?

Details here

Can I customize the output?

You can pass parameters as GET in the URL. And, your content server should respond accordingly. Take care of customization while creating your micro content server.

Why should I create my micro content server?

Shortly, to design the contents yourself. If you can use the public content APIs, ok.
