News Headlines

You are going to need to speak to someone from another web site about trading links with them. I believe that is what you need to do. Try going to CNN, for example, and ask about trading links with them so you can have their headlines on your site.

You want to use RSS, the Really Simple Syndication protocol. It allows a client (your web server) to fetch news headlines from RSS-capable newsfeeds.

Do a google search for RSS to learn more about the protocol, then search Freshmeat.net or Sourceforge.net for software that does what you need on the platform your server runs on.

A few good places to start familiarizing yourself with headline-grabbing would be:
