Simple HTML news feed

[Digital]

What would be the simplest way to add a news feed to an existing website? The managing - thus adding and removing news - should be fairly easy, but the setup can be as difficult as necessary. I don't really want to go for an fully manageable blog-type/Wordpress kind of website though.

 

What are my options, or your best suggestions? Thanks in advance

1. make an html table and add a new row every time

2. make a php script that gets data that has been inputted into a DB

Remember to provide RSS feeds.

I have started on a little blog system thats just like this using php/mysql at the back end which returns posts as json and then uses angularJS to display the posts, it does have some issues like having lost of post +1000 means the browser works super hard to load them all and the post page is literally nothing but a form. It does work. my git hub if you fancy a look.

If you want to do it really simple without any DB or something, you could let PHP read .txt files in a specific folder, order them on DATE.

Then everytime you make a news item you drop it into that folder and php will read it all.

 

If you want to remove a article but not the whole file you can easly rename it to a .bak or something.

 

The shitty part is most of the times how its going to look with line breaks etc.

 

There are probably better ways but i mostly but everything in a DB i have running.

 

PHP can also create .txt and remove/rename files, so you can make a option for that if you like to.
