Adding Automated Content

FrontPage has included several components to enable you to include useful and attention-getting tools on your site, such as

  • Weather reports

  • Geographical maps

  • Stock quotes

  • News, living and travel, sports, business, and technology headlines from MSNBC

Although these options won't work for every type of site, when they do, they can offer a way to make the site appear newsworthy, up-to-date (even if you don't add to your site daily), and connected.

For example, if your site is for a restaurant or tourist spot, adding a weather report (particularly if the weather is glorious) can draw visitors to you. Add an Expedia (the travel service) map so that people can find your place of business, and you can provide a real service.
