Another terrorist attack, this time in Sharm El-Sheikh, the Egyptian resort city where I went on holiday last year. An Al-Qaeda group has claimed responsibility.

This terrorist attack was in Egypt, not Russia. Many Russians go there on vacation; it’s kind of like their Cancun or Acapulco. Beaches aren’t the first things Americans think of when Egypt is mentioned, but that’s where the Russians head when they want some sun.
We haven’t had any terrorist attacks/attempts in Russia for some time now, though during the last three years there have been a few Chechnyan suicide bombers.
As for the mini-posts, there are two methods mentioned on this page:

One way involves tinkering with Wordpress code, the other is just a simple plugin. Cheers!

Wow. That’s pretty scary, if I don’t say so. Is there much terrorism that happens in Russia?
Also, one final question. How do you do these awesome little mini-posts? If you don’t mind, could you at least guide me to a page on how to do it?
