Hi, Has anyone been able to add a sports feed or widget to the project? It would be nice to add like a favorite teams and score updates. If anyone has done this, please let me know. Thanks!

You could probably replace the news with sports headlines, by plugging in the rss url into the get_headlines method under the News class. I haven't tried it, but I switched my mirror to pull from google.

I tried switching my newsfeed to google, but did not have any luck. I basically replaced the existing url with google's rss feed url, and it did not work. I started from scratch to see if I could get it to work properly (have yet to re-attempt it as I'm trying to get the basic page working with weather).

Yeah, I have tried using different RSS url's for strictly sports but none seem to work. Not sure what format it needs to be in.

I got a sport news feed working for the german Bundesliga. The best solution is to find a sport newspaper in your language and look for their rss feed. Then you can simply exchange the url. Otherwise you can write a web scrapper and search for a website with the scores of your favourite league and extract them from there. I did that for german handball bundesliga.
