In follow-up to something I posted here, I'm hoping somebody could tell me if there's a drupal way to do this type of layout and aggregation:
The front page is nicely laid out and contains excerpts (i.e. just the first few lines; a photo/album cover and the title) from what's presented on the detail page. The content itself (stories, images, mp3 links) is aggregated from other sources.
For example:
Is there a way to achieve this same type of functionality and layout? Can the aggregator module do this? Some type of theme that has comes close how the front page is laid out?
Assuming this can be done, I'd like to do a similar thing where, below each title, they're very clear about where the content is coming from and provide direct links back to the original source. That's very important to me - I'd only want to aggregate content that has been made available by the author (via creative commons or something like that). Instead of having people create an account, and create content directly from my site, I'd rather aggregate the content and drive traffic, attention, etc. back to the authors own site.
Any feedback on the process and/or my reasoning is most appreciated!
