    Hey everyone,

    I have a website that i am building as a hobby...and I want to add daily news threads, but I want the news article to be very specific, about actual companies (like adp and verizon, etc..) I want the headlines to be front and center on my home page as examples please see the sites below

    http://cafepharma.com

    http://eyesonsales.com

    http://toptensalesarticles.com


    I have a coder/desihner that i use in India but I want to know what I am talking about before getting him involved...

    Thanks...

    b

    The first link is pulling multiple RSS feeds. And it looks like shuffling the articles a bit.
    The second link has all those stories in a DB or html file.
    The third site doesn't load.

    If you want the site to auto update you need to pull the articles from RSS feeds. You will also need a cache system to keep from overloading your server and the feed suppliers.
