The trouble is, "work" in this context is not well-defined Wink
Work, as in show the latest data given from EvE-Central, in a defined area. (more on the area later on)

In terms of getting data from the API, you'll need to know the typeIDs of the items you're interested in. You can find these out by (say) browsing EVE-Central and looking at the URL, or by examining the EVE static data dump. You'll also need to know the region IDs of the regions you're interested in (again, data dump is your friend).
How to get the ID's is a thing i think i can figure out, mostly thanks to your winks there :)

You then query the API for the data by sending a request to one of the URLs on the developer page - these take the form http://eve-central.com/api/quicklook?typeid=YOUR_TYPE_ID&typeid=ANOTHER_TYPE_ID®ionlimit=YOUR_REGION and will return an XML document.
How you load that document into your CMS in whatever language it's written in, and what you do with that raw data, is up to you :)
Now we begin :S
First of all, my skills in programming are pretty much non-present. This is the reason i use a CMS. Just got a few buttons to press, a little HTML, and there we go, a website is born.
I use the CMS called E107, wich is a free, open source CMS system, where you are allowed to alter anything you like, (at your own risk of site functionality of course...).
So, i build a page up, using simple HTML.
Now, using HTML as "bridge" between my site and EvE-Central, doesent ruin my website. (not up yet).
So, using your info, i want to get the following from EvE-Central:
- Image of the item.
Name of the item.
Prize of the item.
and a specifik region. (Let's say The Forge)
Now, using HTML, how will i get the above info pulled from EvE-Central, and into my site ?
All i do to build a page in E107, is to use any code and CSS needed betbeen the 2 body-tags.
Ye, i know, im asking for an almost premade code :S But i seriousy have no clue about XML, API or the likes of those, so a need help really really bad. i really dont know how to put it otherwise :S
Sorry for being a nubbie here :(
