CNN News plugin
CNN has a number of RSS feeds with current news available, on a number of topics.
This plugin works both as a widget, as inline content replacement and can be used in themes. It can be used as all three simultaneously, but there can be only one instance of the widget. Multiple feeds can be configured and used accordingly. Clicking on a news item will of course take you straight to the relevant article at CNN, as per CNN Terms of Use.
I know there are generic RSS feed widgets out there, but I figured with so many CNN feeds they warranted their own widget with easier configuration than your average generic RSS widget.
NOTE! Always upgrade to the latest version if you experience problems, most things are fixed already. 
The latest version is 2.2.
Known bugs: See the Google News plugin post. These two widgets are virtually identical, so bugs also tend to be the same in both.
Let me know if you find bugs, or if you want additional features or changes. Admin-selectable news item look, extra class/id for CSS etc.
NEW Edit/Delete of feeds do not work under WordPress 2.7. I’ll release a fix as soon as I can. If you’re adept at editing PHP code, you can try out a temporary fix. Edit cnn_news.php and replace all references to edit.php with tools.php and see if things go back to normal. Let me know!

Hi Rolando
Naa, that’s just me being slow. There is very little difference between 2.2 and 2.4, mainly the 2.7 series compat fixes. And I’ve implemented those by hand. So what looks like the 2.2 on the outside is really a 2.2 modified with the 2.4 changes. Could you describe in more detail how you’re using the plugin and what it is that doesn’t work? Email to olav at the obvious domain will also work if you want to write long.
OK

Hello,
I just checked my version of CNN plugin and I’m using version 2.4 which is the latest. Latest on your site is version 2.2. Should I try your version?
Thanks!

Hi Rolando!
Can you try the latest version of the plugin, it should be compatible with the new WP file layout without you having to edit anything. Running it here under 2.7.1 and that seems to work fine.
OK

I tried replacing edit.php with tools.php and it didn’t work. I am running WP 2.7.1

Hi crandall!
Hm, not quite sure what that could be. Note that Google does not have a full list of feeds, so business may or may not be available as a sub-choice in your language. However, if you use english on your site it certainly should be. Can you try some of the others to see if it’s a general problem or not?
OK
