Back in June 2006 (as I remember the date exactly), I started working a on sports portal site that I developed successfully, however my problem is that I always try to deliver more than 100% and that doesn’t help sometimes, because some clients start asking for more, more and many more additional modules with no more money :), so that sucks, because all additional features and modules take a lot of time to be developed, anyways I developed this sports portal, it had the following features and modules

Sports Portal CMS

Sports Portal CMS

The unique module was where the system automatically updated the website by fetching the FULL News / Articles from the Yahoo and Associated Press and displayed in the website, this way all the time website had new news and articles and users could easily post their comments and make the website look more busy with a lot of traffic and continuously self-updating.
