Newsheadlines/Weather, etc.

[bethohio3]

I would like to build my own "my.yahoo" like page, so I can customize it completely the way I want and not have any ads. Am I dreaming? :-)

 

I want to do several different types of things, but headlines news is one of them.

 

I've looked at NewsClipper, and that's the sort of thing I'm thinking of. http://www.newsclipper.com

 

An example of the output I'm thinking of would be at:

http://www.newsclipper.com/Examples/yahoot...topstories.html

 

I found some ASP code on-line, but

Has anyone done anything like this? Any suggestions or ideas?

Hey, Beth.

For weather use:

 

http://www.timetemperature.com/weather_content.html

 

or

 

http://www.wunderground.com/about/faq/weat...thersticker.asp

 

Other 'free' content you can add: stock quotes, a live stock ticker (see http://www.nasdaq.com/asp/Ticker.asp?use=Cookie).

 

Have fun!

Thanks for the advice, everyone!

I've managed to get some weather stuff working, although it's still in trial mode:

www.bweiss.com/Trials/weather.htm and www.bweiss.com/Trials/weather2.htm

I even got the promo info deleted from the image, although I intend to put a single one at the bottom of the page to credit them. (I just didn't want two per city!)

 

I'm still playing with news (www.bweiss.com/Trials/portal.htm and newsportals.htm)

 

I started looking at the JavaScript for morenover.com, and it needs some polishing--the generated code offended my sensibilities.
