Oh, well that's a different question ;-) To "publish" your content, you have two popular choices. There maybe others, but here's my 3 cents:
~~ XML, using an RSS (or RDF) Vocabulary used widely by Weblogs (a.k.a. Blogs). Although this is not a simple implementation, here is some information to get you started: http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Here's an example RSS XML Feed from one of my sites: http://witango.org/witango-websightings-rss.taf ~~ JavaScript, where you use a TAF file to dynamically output JavaScript code which the other sites can call by simply using the SRC attribute of the <SCRIPT/> tag. Something like: ---call your site---- <script src="http://www.stefansite.com/published_text.taf";></script> ---your TAF output---- // write your output just like // an external JS file, so no <script> tags document.write("<div style=\"width:100px\">"); document.write("Some text from Stefan\'s database"); document.write("</div>"); // content finished ---------------------- Then, all your other sites have to do is embed the <script src="..."></script> code in their pages, in the HTML "where" they want the content to appear. Note: It also doesn't hurt to specify a custom HTTP Header for your JavaScript output, something like: <@ASSIGN request$httpHeader VALUE="HTTP/1.1 200 OK<@CRLF>Content-Type: application/x-javascript<@CRLF><@CRLF>"> You could also make the JavaScript file static by having your Witango application dynamically write the file as text on your server, and give it a *.js extension. Hope this helps. Cheers...
