Hey guys, I'm new here so... sup!
Anyway, I have a question about an Arduino project I'm currently working on. The website said that it's based on C/C++ so I wasn't really sure where to post this I guess this'll do. Ok so I built this LED 24x6 Matrix (which can be found on instructables.com) for an engineering class. The board's purpose is to scroll words across and it was programmed using an Arduino board. We have to make it seem practical and I had an idea but I didn't know if this was even possible (or how to code it, I'm still a freshman). My idea was to have it display a headline on a website every time the website updates its main headline. So like if you go on nfl.com right now the main headline is "Farewell to Al" and that's what would scroll across on the LEDs. I was thinking maybe there was a way for the Arduino/program to scan the source code of the site and display whatever was in between certain tags, for example. Not sure if this is possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks,

I'm not a programmer so this may sound like a ridiculous request. If it is, can you please just drop a comment and let me know so I don't get my hopes up? lol
