Are you considering writing a Wordpress plugin for the easy creation of the slices?

not sure if a plugin can be written for it. web slices require change in the markup. hence a wordpress theme which is web slice enabled is a better bet :-)

but do u like the concept of web slices ? how is it better, if at all, from RSS?

Off topic: The website that I manage ( www.dare.co.in ) is dominated by IE6 vistors, followed by IE7, who make up for more than half of the visitors trending.
