SA headlines for webmasters
Is your website about something South African? Want your visitors to get more of the SA Story - but don't have time to tell it yourself?
Then get a free piece of our action - enrich your content with automatically updating news and features, pulled directly from SouthAfrica.info's front page to wherever you want on your website.
There's no cost, no obligation, and no maintenance - just copy and paste a few lines of code onto your site, tweak it a bit (if necessary) to suit your page layout, and let us do the rest.
As new stories go up on our front page - this happens two or three times a day, except for weekends and public holidays - the headlines will copy to a separate file.
Your site will "call" this file, displaying it as a box of headlines that click through to the full stories on SAinfo (opened in a new browser window).
It's more exposure for us, it's hassle-free moving content for you - it's another South African possibility come to life.
Terms and conditions of use
By using our update boxes, you are deemed to have accepted our terms and conditions of use.
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS
Three easy steps:
Step 1 - See the list of three boxes below. Choose which version you want to appear on your site.
Step 2 - Each of the three boxes below is accompanied by a few lines of html code, starting with <iframe ... > and ending with </iframe>. Copy this piece of code.
Step 3 - Paste this coding into your website's html. Where you paste it will depend on which page of your website, and whereabouts on that page, you want the South Africa update box to appear.
That's it. Upload the changes, and the box will appear on your site, calling SouthAfrica.info headlines from a file that we update on our side.
- You can, if you want, adjust how the box appears on your page - see below.
- Please drop us an e-mail letting us know that you're running the box. Thank you for your support!

Adjusting how the box appears on your page (optional)
If you want, you can adjust how the box appears on your page by adding / removing / modifying the settings inside your <iframe...> tag, in one or more the following ways:
Box alignment:
To change how the box aligns on your page, add one of the following into your
<iframe...> tag:
- align=center - centres the box
- align=left - content wraps round the right of the box
- align=right - content wraps round the left of the box
- align=top - box on top of surrounding content
- align=bottom - box below surrounding content
Box width / height:
Rewrite width=x to change the width of the box. For example: width=250 will give you a 250 pixel wide box; width=80% will give you a box that takes up 80% of the width available in the place you've put it. Ditto for height.
Margin width / height:
Rewrite marginwidth=x (and/or marginheight=x) to change the space (in pixels) between the sides and the content of the box.
Space around the box:
Add hspace=x and/or vspace=x if you want to set the amount of space in pixels (hspace for the sides, vspace for above and below) between the box and any content surrounding
it.
Box border:
Add frameborder=0 if you want to suppress the border around the box.
