    Hi all,

    I've been interested in making a site similar to newsnow#.co.uk but was wondering what sort of skill it takes? i wanted to only focus on health/diet related articles.

    thanks for any suggestions

    That's just a site that pulls in a bunch of RSS feeds.

    You could use a CMS (content management system) like the open source Drupal.org (or many other open source CMS) to import all of the RSS feeds you want to display. Also, you would have to setup cron jobs (or similar setup) to automatically pull the new feeds at set intervals of time.

    Probably wouldn't be too difficult if you have some server side programming knowledge too.

    you might be able to do something similar with health/diet related blogs which offer RSS files (like news sites)

    you'll probably want to talk to a code like rentacoder.com could prob do it cheap
