Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to coding. I know html well and I know a fair amount of css and some javascript. I'm creating a newspaper site and I'm trying to make as little work as possible for those that update the site.
My question is: I have a column on the right side of the page that displays when someone is reading an article. In that column will be blurbs from other articles that are in the same section. For instance, if they are reading an entertainment article, the column will show blurbs of the other entertainment articles. These blurbs will be the exact same blurbs that are displayed on the main entertainment page or whatever section they are in. How can I scrape (if that’s the right term) or copy automatically those blurbs that already exist and insert them into the column automatically in order to make less work for those updating the site? I’m not looking for someone to necessarily give me the exact script or whatever, but can you point me in the direction of what type of coding could do this, maybe php or is there javascript that will do this? Maybe RSS, I don’t know. Any help in pointing in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Have you had a chance to look at any of the examples that come with the tool (http://examples.codecharge.com/)?? They maybe helpful to you not to mention that you can use pieces from them to add to your web application.
It does sound like all you need to do is to make the right side a viewable grid that pulls information based on the section id where as the main body of the page pulls the article based on the section id and article id. Hopefully this will work for you.
