[QUOTE][u]Quote by: squatty[/u][p]In true portal fashion, and with the inspiration of Chmouel (thanks for the weather block!) I managed to create a news block that pulls content from ABCNews.com.  The news block displays links to ABCNews stories and has all the same features, both user and admin as the weather block created by Chmouel.  In fact, I reused as much of his code as possible :)[p]
The news block allows users to customize their default view with one of the following feeds:[/p][p]
[/p]World News
US News
Political News
Business News
Science News
ESPN Sports
Entertainment News
Health and Living News
[p]
You can view my news block in action at <a href="http://www.squatty.com">http://www.squatty.com</a>.  The source code is located at <a href="http://www.squatty.com/news.zip">http://www.squatty.com/news.zip</a>. [/p][p]
The one major issue with the block that needs some attention is the lack of a caching mechanism.  It would be nice to cache both the display and detailed views.  If anyone out their has some ideas please let me know?[/p][p]
Thanks,
Danny[/p][/p][/QUOTE]
