I use iFrames too, but have trouble aligning them to fit with the text that is standard in my site.

For example, all my

tags are aligned right, but when I have to use an iFrame to a Textpattern blog, I can never get them to align right like the

tags on my site.

Until I can fix that, I'm just typing my entrys in HTML, if you look at my site in my sig.

I'm not sure exactly what you want but heres a thing on how to install cute news to your site that I found on e-fans.net

------------

1. Go to cutephp.com and download cutenews. Unzip it into a folder on your computer and open you desired FTP program. When you have successfully logged into your FTP account, create a new folder in you "www" folder. Call it cutenews. Upload all the unzipped cutenews files and folders from your computer to this folder.

2. When you have finished uploading, right **** on the folder "data" in your cutenews folder (the one in the "www" folder) and press CHMOD. Change the numbers to 777. Do the same for ALL the files and folders in "data".

3. Open your browser and point it to your uploaded cutenews folder (e.g. http://yourdomain.e-fans.net/cutenews) and you will be taken to the installation page.

4. On the install page you will see all the folders and files that need to have special permissions. If a line is red, it means that that folder/file doesn't have the right permission and you need to go back to your FTP program to change it before you can proceed. Press "Process Installation" and you will be taken to the third page where you have to enter the full path to cutenews (e.g. http://yourdomain.e-fans.net/cutenews) an admin username and password (DON'T FORGET THOSE, THEY CAN'T BE RETRIEVED) and e-mail. Press the "Proceed installation".

5. If everything went correctly you should get a notification, which says, "Cutenews was successfully installed." Now you can go to the login page and login with the username and password that you provided earlier. When you first log in you will get this message:
"Attention!
CuteNews found that the installation module is still located in the /inc folder.
Please delete or rename the /inc/install.mdu file for security reasons."

You can either press the "Try to delete automatically" button below the message or go to your FTP program and delete the file manually.

6. To add news, press the "Add news" button at the top. To edit news, press the "Edit news" button, at the top too. But to integrate the news into your site, press the "Options" button.

7. On the options page, press "Integration Wizards (News and RSS)". You will get two options press the second one. Now you will be taken to a page where you have to provide some info about how you want to display the news.

In the "Number of active news to display" write the number of news you want to have on your site at a time (e.g. 5).
In the "Template to Use When Displaying News" drop down, select the template you want to use (making templates in Cutenews is far more than enough for another tutorial so if you don't know what you should use, just use default).
If you have categories, you can choose which categories to display news from.
Don't worry much about the advanced settings.

8. When you have finished step 7 completely, press the "Proceed to Integration" button at the bottom of the page. Copy the php code you will get on the next page into your site, where you want the news to appear. PLEASE NOTE: The page where you want the news to appear, must end with ".php" or it won't work. All pasting must be done in code view or text editor.

9. Save the page and upload it to your account. Open your browser and point it to the page you just uploaded (e.g. http://yourdomain.e-fans.net/news.php).

10. If you want to change the template of the news:
1. Log into your cutenews and test it on your own (press "Options" and then "Edit templates") (very good way to learn )
2. Ask someone to help you if you don't understand anything
