Hi,
I’m looking for the same RSS (news.yahoo.com) but in French (for FRANCE), do you know where it is?
Thx Yaya
Hmmm… I don’t. Let me see if I can find out.
hi Justin, love your blog, the crossdomain.xml for the weather rss seems to be missing, it used to work… but now it doesn’t – are there any work arounds for this?
UGH! a crossdomain file for every feed BUT weather. Lame!
Hey, thanks for that.
