Each kind of a website has its own peculiarities. A common mistake in web design community is to ignore the specificity of a website.

  A lot of people pick a template because of how it looks but certain templates don't work for certain kinds of sites. An online shop for example shouldn't have a template that was originally designed for a fashion blog for example.

To summarize, a visitor sees the headlines they want to read, view the summary, and click through to your site to read the rest of the news, either in a new window, or without having to leave the application they are in. And when you update again, the reader will notify them that you have new headlines, and/or populate the list of items you have available. This can keep your audience coming back. It is so easy you would be crazy not to do it!

Nothing makes a blog post more eye-catching than a great header image, but not all publishers have artistic talent. And even accomplished digital creatives often crave some found material to start from or work with in a project. Luckily for all of the above, sources abound for finding a compelling photo to grab your readers' eyes and draw them in, or to locate fresh multimedia to remix.
