news module as a separate section on page

[migajos]

Hi!
I've got a webpage which requires only one page. Most of the page is covered with flash module. What I need is a news module under flash animation. I need just one box with news. What cms should I use? I dont want to redesign all webpage... I just want to add this news box. Would appreciate any idea.
Thanks!

Use a news service that offers ready to use feeds.. Comtex and All Headline News come to mind

migajos,

Welcome to Webmasterworld!

I agree with eventus, the easiest thing to do would be to add a news feed. In addition to the two mentioned, you might want to check out Topix as well.

But aren't those feeds which supply ready news? I need a tool where I'd be writing the text and publish it.

Ahh.. That is a different story..

Those companies do provide ready to use news. Be careful and correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think Topix has a commercial license. Don't run afoul of copyright.

You may need to find a script that will create a feed. Joomla, Drupal come to mind.. You'll be out of pocket for custom script work I fear.

FYI, Topix allows anyone to publish one of their news feeds.

Just look for this on the bottom of any news page:

You can specify particular areas for news. Not sure if that would help the op, though.

If you want to reconfigure your site to use a CMS, you can use Joomla to post your own news stories into a module on your site. We write news stories a few days ahead and have Joomla post them at the time and date we choose.

That's a lot of work though just to have a news story. There may be some java based solutions that would not require you to completely reformat your site.
