I'm trying to create a latest news section to the front page of my website. What is the simplest way to go about this? I know I could use WordPress but I don't necessarily want it to be a blog, just a scrolling news section.
Here's an example of what I'm talking about http://jackjohnsonmusic.com/archive/news
I've searched for ages on the internet and found nothing about this, if anyone has any links that maybe useful I'd appreciate it
Not sure if this is what your looking for but I have used it in the past. It takes news feeds from RSS and puts them on your site.

I've created a private platform based on the YouTube "unlisted" method. As long as you have the link, everyone can access that content.
But now I have the following questions:
Is it possible for someone to find all the pages of my website? Because if that is possible, the whole private thing will just not work.
If it is possible, how come no one managed to get the unlisted links from youtube as well? Those are basically pages, after all, right?
These questions are based on the fact that the same way a search engine can display different pages of a website (which can only do if those pages exist), the same way the person who created the search engine can use the same method to just find the unlisted link.
Maybe I am missing something, but this is my base theory and based on that I've asked the above questions. Hopefully, someone can help have a deeper understanding of how "unlisted" links work.
I have a simple HTML site with 100+ pages or so. I want to add a search bar at the top so the user can search the site. I know about Google Custom Search, but it shows ads unless you pay at least $100. Obviously I'd like ad-less search on my site for free if at all possible!
I've also heard about Lucene/Solr, but they do not actually crawl the site. For that I would apparently need Nutch.
Anyway, the site I have runs on a Microsoft IIS6 server, but I have basically no knowledge as to how Solr, Nutch, etc. gets "installed" on the server.
Also: I'd like to point out that I do have a local copy of the site. Perhaps I can do one big initial nutch "crawl" locally that will create an .xml for Solr?? That would help me get "up and running", but probably wouldn't be a good long-term solution.
..so should I just use Google Custom Search? or is there a not-extremely-painful-to-implement alternative? The brain hurts folks.
You did not mention how many search requests you want to handle but if you use the json-rest-api of google's custom search you have 100 searchqueries a day for free and you can display them without any ads on your page.
An simple example request can be found here.
Here is an easy way that works pretty well, although you may be looking for something more than this.

You can create code to paste into your site in about 2 minutes. It doesn't get easier than that. Search is powered by Google, but results are isolated to your website.
EDIT: This no longer works.
I was wondering if is it possible to make same thing by myself, or Search Engines does that by themselves?
I want to add some links like here:
Google does this on it's own and all you can do is to (then) remove some of the links through the Google Webmaster Tools.
They are commonly named Site Links and you can google for "How to get Site Links Google SERP" and so forth - there are thousands of tips for helping Google along.
A clear navigational structure and internal link structure help of course, and consistent anchor texts.
As far as I know, Google automagically pics those up - there is no direct way to set them.
Make sure you have a proper site map, and then wait I suppose.
Yes, google will generate that links for you.
I have embedded a Tumblr blog onto my website using the script provided in the goodies section of the Tumblr website as well as added the code to limit my posts to 5 of the most recent... indicated by ?num=5 at the end of the script below:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://website.tumblr.com/js?num=5"></script>
What I am trying to do is build pagination for the blog on my personal website so that all posts are accessible to people wanting to view all of; even the oldest posts. I want to show 5 posts per page in the pagination. Does anyone know how to do this?
I have searched through this forum, Google, Tumblr and I even sent a question to the Tumblr support team but still haven't found the answer. THeir support team suggested I use frames but I don't know how to build that.
I hope someone can help!!
Thank's in advance!!!
What you could do, as the Tumblr support suggested, is to use an iframe and simply embed the whole Tumbleblog inside. Like this:
<iframe src="http://website.tumblr.com" width="42px" height="42px">
<p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p>
</iframe>

The pagination has to take place on the actual Tumbleblog, like it is by default. Biggest downside is that it will be tricky to differ the design/layout and behaviour for the one that's embedded on your blog and the direct one (because it's the same, duh).
I've created a jquery plugin for consuming your tumblr feed - I've just added pagination support.
Its called jquery-tumblr - https://github.com/alexhayes/jquery-tumblr
The search feature on the site seems pretty awful.
Are there any external sites that do a better job of categorizing projects with tags, etc?
Or maybe I'm just not using GitHub correctly?
Have you tried a Google search with site:github.com included in the query?
I haven't tried this, but I understand that very often Google does a better job of searching a website than the site's own search tools. Have you tried that?
Go to their advanced search page and fill out github.com in the "Only return results from this site or domain" slot.
GitHub indexes a tremendous amount of data (50+ million projects). Taking a moment to understand their search syntax should help you narrow your search.
hubscovery.com is much better.
GitHub's search functionality is terrible. I'm all for everyone having their own opinion, but for such a well-done site in nearly every other way, there is no excuse for lacking a basic sort option. It is to their service.
EDIT: Hubscovery is dead! Long live GitHub search!
