ok, I get the idea how to create those newsfeeds. Looks pretty staigh forward.
How do you implement them on the client site. I read about news agregator programms (like newsreaders for newsgroups). But I do want to integrate them into another website without having php on that site. Do I have to wrap it around another peace of software? It would be grate if it would just be a html tag which just implements the little news into a whole html page surrounded by its other content. -- Worldwide Travel Community http://www.globosapiens.net "Aquarion" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > On Sun, 20 Jul 2003 12:28:55 +0200, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Merlin) wrote: > > >Hi there, > > > >I was searching on the net for a while on how to create dynamic newsfeeds > >from my web portal.
