Thanks! I guess it is time to wade into the world of RSS feeds.

The key to understanding this page is in the doctype. The doctype tells us that the document root element is
"html" and it is "public". This means it is validated using html and that the dtd being public
(well-known) can be found in numerous locations. It also tells us that the dtd is "SoftQuad Software//DTD HoTMetaL
PRO 6.0::19990601::extensions to HTML 4.0//EN". Unlike a "system" doctype a public doctype need not have
a specific uri for the dtd since it is well known and therefore easily referencable.
That helped didn't it?
What is means is we have a page written using the HotMetal Pro ver6 system. A system which contains extension to html 4.0. A proprietary set of extensions which suggests an ide of some kind, like Dreamweaver or Front Page. Google HotMetal Pro and sure enough it's "The most versitile Website development tool".
See it did help.
The postings you are concerned about are nothing more than rss feeds from what
seems to be a publisher marketing outfit. I expect HotMetal Pro contains the
extensions to include the feeds and some other features on the page. On a quick
look it seems to be just another wysiwyg editor. You could, in other words,
roll your own.
Poke around that sit and xmetal.com and you'll get a better feel for what it
does.
That help?
