A Daily Gazette (Journalism page)


In this recipe, we are going to create a little newspaper. With a couple of RSS Feeds from outside sources, and regular postings in a couple of your own journals, you will have a "newspaper" with frequently updated content. The following screenshot shows how this would look:

Getting ready

You will need to have two journals in which you will regularly post the news you wish to be a part of your Gazette. The text in these journals should be fully justified that is the text is aligned on the left and the right. It would be a good idea for the journals to have specific themes, but they don't have to.

Note

By using journals for your stories, the stories will become part of your permanent portfolio, and an archive of news articles will be created automatically in your Gazette as well. If you were to simply use Text Box blocks for your stories, then every time you changed the story in the Text Box, you'd lose the story you had before.

How to do it...
