If we provided an RSS feed for our news items, which would be a good
idea but yet more work, than we could use something like this to
easily pull the most recent news items into the homepage:

http://feed2js.org/

Maybe we could just make a handcrafted RSS feed for our news items,
and then use this JavaScript to populate both the home page and the
news page? Then we would only have a single news source to maintain,
the RSS feed.

Just a thought.
