More then happy to, but...being the AJAX that it is, you can see my "shout out" thing at
my website, it uses Javascript to do so...so it's 99% visible to you now. (Just view the page source, and look for the <script type="text/javascript"> - it's all in there. I just have five spanning fields, make a call to my server-side script, and retrieve messages if there are new ones since the last update, based on a timestamp created on the initial call for messages.
It's not quite secure yet, but semi-close...smart punks can still abuse it, but I worry about the details after the gist of it is working (as it's just the basic post/get calls that can be tampered with).
I plan on adding a few obvious things in the near future - spam/time catching, auto ip-banning for doing such a thing (at least temp), filters for foolios (I have previous project for this), and more importantly, probably adding unlimited message history, as five is a 'lil short.
Anyhow if you have any specific questions, feel free to ask...and I can attempt answering them. I will probably be writing up a guide on it after I'm complete, as it still has a ways to go, but it's a working process.

Huh? I sense jealousy here. It's ok, not all people are cool enough to get down with AJAX.
