<!-- News Powered by CuteNews: http://cutephp.com/ -->

with the news system it allows me to post news articles on my website, and on my websites main page it just shows the titles of the news articles in order like this:

>> article 1 blahblahblah
>> article 2 somethingsomethingsomething
>> article 3 --asd-as-d-asd-a-sd-a-sd-sad

And when you click on the link, the msm.php is just the template for the page it'll be taken too which contains the full article. In the php code I'm trying to put up will just put the links (like I poorly exampled above ) so members can click the link and be taken to the news article that is part of the main site...

Its very hard to explain, hopefully I was clear enough. :-)
