When I was optimizing my directory. I though a news feed from other sites such as Yahoo or businessweek.com would be pretty cool. Generally, depends on which category the visitor clicks on, the corresponding news will show up. On one side, it may interests the visitors since that’s the topic they interested in. On the other side, it is good for SEO sine the content refreshes everyday (as long as there are some thing new happening everyday).
However, after following the steps, I still can not get the news item display correctly. I doubled checked my installation but still can not pinpoint the problem. I contacted the developer of the news feed script. He is so nice and we really had conversions back and forth. Finally, he mentioned that it could be the problem of my server. It is likely that fopen is restricted for security reasons. So I asked the supporter from Godaddy. Well, it is true, they disabled the fopen() function. This is not the end of story though, i know that the CURL can be used to replace fopen(). I wish the developer can look into that and come up with a solution. If anything comes up, I will keep everyone updated.
