    Question how to customize Yahoo Top Stories

    Hi all,

    Currently I built a niche directory and using intregated theme ( kosmos ).
    I want to change topic of yahoo Top Stories which is automatically generated.

    I want to change it to be more related to my niche topic.
    For example, i want to use "internet marketing" topic/keyword so the news showed up will be around internet marketing.

    Please help me how to configure the script.

    Big thanks

    You can set the block_rss_feed url to whatever you like:

    e.g.,

    <%block_rss_feed url="http://news.search.yahoo.com/news/rss?ei=UTF-8&p=internet+marketing&c=&eo=UTF-8" title="Internet Marketing" template="block.rss_feed.html" max_item="4" cache_time="86400"%>

    or if you like Google,

    <%block_rss_feed url="http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&q=internet+marketing&ie=UTF-8&output=rss" title="Internet Marketing" template="block.rss_feed.html" max_item="4" cache_time="86400"%>

    Hope this helps.
