I am building up a current news directory. Have a few categories now. What I need are suggestions for new categories (where I can get feeds for them), sub-categories, etc. Plus have a scrolling news item on the pages. Any ideas on that one? Does it go, stay, get modified? http://www.currentnewsreport.com Thank you.
.02 1. be careful about whom you grab your news from, and how much you grab from them. 2. a weekly/monthly(your discretion) purge of archives would be a wise choice. 3. put the scroll on either the left or right. the center is too distracting. 4. much needed would be a template to suit your niche.

1. Always hunting for new rss feeds to use to keep away from just using a few. 2. working on a way to purge on a predetermined basis. 3. good! will move to the left 4. no templates so far that I have found. but just know one day someone will make templates for this feeder.
I really wish I could afford the time to to be able to make templates for both topica & article script, but it's just not something in the works (for now at least), but eventually I should be able to. As a suggestion on purging, use a cronjob. set it up for every 7 days. I do believe the script offers this option. If you need help, you know I am always around on phpld forums. And yes, definately be careful on those feeds. changing up is a good thing to do. (hint* - might want to do it dynamically ) Good luck with everything. I'm always here to help. NOT fight Rob
