Need to know how to read news from a public news feed

[fiuPikeOY]

Hello,

Does anybody know how news websites post the news dynamically on their site. I know there are several public news feeds that they read and convert to html using XML, but that's is as much as I know. Does anybody know where I can find a tutorial on how to do this.

Thanks in advance

It's typically called RSS...

Here is a starter:

You can use XSL or DOM to translate it (along with several other tools)

Hope this helps,
