Here it is, a way to keep your site fresh without needing to upload your pages every time you make a change. Just use Master Site News and your browser.

Master Site News is the third of three free CGI programs to help you easily keep your site fresh and new for your visitors.

The first was Master Daily Content, with which you can specify what content is to be displayed on what day. The second was Master Merry-Go-Round, a program that rotates your content every time a page loads. Those two are available at http://willmaster.com/a/6/pl.pl?cgi

This third free CGI program, Master Site News, has no rotating content. It always presents the latest content you specified in the control panel.

You can present your

• specials,
  
  
• limited-time features,
  
  
• latest site happenings,
  
  
• announcements, and
  
  
• other news your visitors may be interested in.

The idea is to keep it fresh, always new, so your visitors sense your attention to your site and know your information is not stale.

The content displayed with Master Site News can contain anything a regular web page can contain -- text, graphics, sound, links, Flash, etc.

You can display the content in any of three ways:

1. Within a web page using Server Side Includes (SSI).
   
   
2. Inside a popup window.
   
   
3. As its own, separate web page.

Examples are available from the program's control panel. The "View the control panel" link from the download page also accesses the examples.

(An article about how to use Server Side Includes is in the archives at http://willmaster.com/possibilities/archives/ .)

It is easy to keep your site fresh. Just use Master Site News regularly.

You can download a copy at http://willmaster.com/a/6/pl.pl?sn

Easy installation instructions are included in the script.

Happy news reporting!
