here's a dumb question for you. got a newspaper site. goes out 3 times a week...to local, vegas and weekend editions. sites' gotta be updated daily. what's the best scheme or function to update the site along with what's printed daily? A) manually B) dynamic function (like a scrape) C) ummm any other method? it's a site that i'll be managing ...the print team will email me daily of new stuff that's printed in the paper and i'll have to integrate that into the site. any advice would be helpful...thanks
I think, only manually. It will be good to see the result the final result just after posting (or just before, even better) and correct all possible bugs immediately. Or you can use some script, that will post new article to site and after that you should manually make this article visible (after your review).
If they email you the stuff you could also set up a dedicated email address for them to email the article to in a certain format. You could then write a script that would fetch the email, insert it into the database ready for you to review and put live. I would not put them live by default just because of preventing spam and making sure everything is fine with he article.
I think there's a script that manages and automatically update and post articles from selected news feeds. It's like posting the feeds content of the subscribed news source.
