    I know I ask loads but I'm trying to find a script or site that allows news updates that are linked from another site so I dont have to cover the news on my site?

    I know there small boxes and scroll up but Ive had no luck in finding anything on the web

    Newsclipper (Perl based). Moreover.com I think uses a javascript block of code to pull news dynamically. Other stuff can be found on http://freshmeat.net - it is mainly Unix based though most webservers are Unix based. The embedded javascript option is probably the easiest if you don't admin/run your own webservers.

    [ I hate whoring, but it's only just been added and wasn't really announced, so... ]

    Thomas Crosbie Media has just added RSS XML feeds to our existing Javascript and Java feeds -- you can get to them from here. There's plenty of RSS parsers out there, but I'll try and add one to that site or post it here sometime next week. I also have a script I wrote an age back that allows you to add a ticker to your taskbar or desktop -- the Javascript feed limited it a bit, but it should be better with the RSS feeds. I'll post that too if I get a chance.
