Speaking of tickers, with the help of another IT forum member here I managed to do what I wanted for my site.
Just revamped the design of the front page and where AM resides, check the ticker at http://www.wrestling-online.com/index2.shtml .
SSI calls a php file which is calls an .xml file which is translated from the headlines_.html file from AM and turns it into a news ticker :) Pretty kinky to say the least. The whole thread on how to do this is at http://www.interactivetools.com/forum/gforum.cgi?post=7389
Also there's the Featured Story on the front page which pulls the latest headline or the ticked 'Featured' article from Article Manager and displays it in full using the search feature. I add a picture to the particular story which I will use as the top one so it looks better on the front page. Sort of like CNN.COM has on the page, but instead of a summary, it's the full news story. The thread on how to do this is at http://www.interactivetools.com/forum/gforum.cgi?post=8016
That's what great about Article Manager; very customizable, great technical support to help, and other members who can come up with great add-ons to make the product better.
Hope you like it :)
