web site with latest news

[lovecoding]

Hello there,

I am new to website design or coding, but I am desperately like to a quickly build a web site that would display the latest news of a specific topic 'say big brother'.
I would like the news to be collected from all online sources that have some news about the topic and automatically be displayed in my web site in a list. direction to the right resources to achieve that would be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance,

lovecoding

Does not sound quite legal what you are heading for.

Sounds like you want to add an RSS feed to your site (Real Simple Syndication).

First, you would have to style your web page such that the news displays in the proper part of the web page (i.e. - left side, right side, bottom, etc.).

Then you would need to prepare the code for parsing the news feed, usually Javascript or PHP. Magpie is often cited as a good application too; especially if your site gets a lot of traffic, it caches the news feed until there is actually something new to display. That way, you are not sucking up a lot of bandwidth from your news source, possibly irritating them to the point that they cut you off.

Then you would need to find the actual news feed, which is usually in XML format.

How far along are you on any of these fronts?
