RSS feed?

Sorry - I don't do news or stuff like that, but feeds seem to me to be what you're looking for....

Didn't I recently read something here on SE being not too much in love with RSS feed

I might be wrong?

Kanexpo,

There is a relatively new RSS forum here at WW. They can probably answer any questions that you may have about rss or xml feeds.

Reconsidering....

Do you mean the actual LAYOUT of the sections on the page? If so, it's called a "portal". Check out phpNuke (which I personally don't like, but millions of people the world around swear by as if it were the second coming....)

It probably is a RSS feed.
