Yes, that's about it. Let's forget the part of getting the updated IP off the web and plugging it into SSH for now (that I can pretty much handle).

I'm looking for how to use a cron job to figure out the current IP address, and then update say a html link on a webpage.

I don't think that dynamic DNS would work because there is no domain name associated with it.
