How Do I Use Daylife?
Getting Started
Daylife is a publishing platform for news. You can use it to automatically generate complete categories and pages of content for your site - on any topic and in any format - composed of news from thousands of sources around the world.
Readers
Just dig in! Visit our home page, or start at one of our partner sites, or use the search bar to find the stories and topics that interest you. Get started and keep on clicking - everything is connected on Daylife, and you'll see more news, photos, quotes, and other content than you ever knew existed.
Publishers & Site Owners
There are two ways to use Daylife, and both provide a clickable web of news on every page to help your site's or blog's readers to discover and explore more content:
1) Use our easy "Grab & Go" interface to create & customize pages for your site or blog with no programming or additional cost.
2) Use our API to build your own pages and applications (from scratch, or help yourself to some of our free examples). To do this, just go over to the Daylife Cookbook and get started.
Our licensing provides unlimited dynamic news content without ongoing personnel costs. Please visit our publisher FAQ to find out more, or contact us at partners@Daylife.com.
