Update to the Longevity Meme News Javascript

As some of you know, you can use a Javascript include to show the Longevity Meme news on your website - as is done at Fight Aging!, for example. The implementation sorely needed updating, however, as has been the case for the past five years or so. We're on the ball here, as you can tell. On those odd occasions when the the Longevity Meme host was down (no-one provides 100% uptime), a page with the Javascript included would hang as the browser tried to download it and failed. I've (finally) updated the script to work in a somewhat more friendly manner using a div and innerHTML manipulation. It will still work the old way for those with an existing placement, but take a look at the instructions for the new methodology, assuming you'd like to move up a little from the paleolithic era of Javascript design patterns.
