Put Statesman headlines on your web page or blog

Adding headlines from the Austin American-Statesman to your Web site has never been easier with the help of our RSS-powered Headlines Module Generator.

What is an RSS-powered headlines module?

A Flash-based module that displays headlines continuously updated from RSS feeds from the Austin American-Statesman.
Web site owners can use the RSS Module Generator (see below) to set up modules.
The Headlines Module can be embedded on any Web site.

How the module works

The module will automatically display headlines from the default feed. The number of headlines displayed is determined by the height of the module.
You can view the entire article by clicking on any headline.
The module can display tabs for up to three additional feeds. You can click on any of the tabs to view headlines.
You can use the search box to search the content on Statesman.com or Austin360.com.

How to customize a module

Using the RSS Module Generator at the top of this page, choose up to 4 feeds to display in the module and select a default feed to be displayed.
Click on "2. Set the module size." Specify the height and width for the module.
Click on "3. View and copy code." Copy the few lines of automatically generated code and paste it in your Web site. It's that simple and it's free!

What is RSS?

RSS is an acronym for Really Simple Syndication. It is a quick and easy way to send you headlines and brief snippets of our premium content. Using a special program you can access this content, and content from hundreds of other sites, and be notified of new entries when we update the site. In short, RSS is bringing the Web to you.
