Hi All,
Haven't been here for a while now, but it's great to be back.
Can anyone suggest what I can use as a New Headliner Tool ?  The idea is to post news from another computer to the main website with the Headlines coming up on the front page with a click here to go to the enitre story.
Has anyone done this before ?  If so, can you help please ?

Thank you
Di

Want Yahoo News?  Check out the many options for these RSS feeders (free)
h**p://www.magic-rss.com/

=====
A FREE service for News RSS feeder is here.   h**p://rssfeedreader.com/
Sign up, get a piece of code from them and put it into an INSERT HTML in CSB web page.
This feeder is a PHP feeder instead of javascript.
You can read on their site why they suggest PHP over javascript.

You CAN use a ssi includes on a if you want to put the code into an htm or html page.
They give you a tutorial for adding ssi code. It takes a bit more work.

If however, you name your web page as .php using your PAGE PROPERTIES in CSB, you will save yourself some work!
"you simply add the PHP code produced by the RSS Reader directly to your PHP pages. Do not modify it in any way. Add the PHP code to the web page anywhere that you want to display the headlines. You may add it to as many pages on your site as warranted."

There are a lot of sites offering News Readers.  I use the following:

  http://www.feedsweep.com/products/fs/

The generated Javascript is then inserted using 'Insert HTML Code'.






Or find something else you like!

Thank you both for your suggestions.  An example of what I was trying to achieve is on this site... http://www.graq.org.au/home.asp
The Racing News produces a headline on the home page and when selected goes to the full story.
Thanks once again for your help....
