News Reader with RSS Feeds - For Dummies
 

Please click Mark as Installed if you use this modification >>>>

Seriously, I got tired of trying to figure out how to get the news I wanted on my site that provided the whole story and not just a description or a feed that was nothing more than a ?disguised ad? for another site, so I located a Google Map Reader, acquired permission to use the program and wrote a ?modification for vb.?

Testing:
I have tested this on 3.5.x and 3.6.x and it works fine on both. 3.5.x users follow this link:

VbGoogleNews 3.5.X version 1.0.2


What this program does:
This is a Google Map with interactive pins on each continent. Access is gained via the navbar.

Usage:
Select the location on the map that you?d like by dragging mouse, click on pin until you locate the exact country, region, local area you desire and the news will appear. Click on article and a new window will display story; members never leave your site.


Changelog
v1.0.1 working version
v1.0.2 two minor modifications to adjust width



Since the Reader and RSS Feeds is remotely hosted and they do the upgrades, I can?t think of any improvements necessary, but feel free to make suggestions and/or provide file(s), translate to another language, whatever!

I like it too much but what about Arabic news ?

Provide a news feed(s) and I will get it installed, in fact, we encourage anyone to submit news feeds, but it should be for local news.
