Google News Widget plugin version 0.7 released
It displays the list of the latest news by Google News given localization (country-language), search word(s) or topic, number of displayable news and whether you want publication date, date, reference to the author displayed/not. The look & feel is customizable too. It works as a widget or shortcode.
Starting from version 0.7 – for Us and Canada (eng), it’s also possible to display local news by selecting city, state/province or zipcode. Courtesy of Greg at transientmonkey.com.
= 0.7 =
* New feature: added selection of local news (working for Usa and Canada English only)
* Added proper error messages for: empty, non-existing URLs and invalid/misformatted feeds content
* Added defaults for target and list (widget fields)
* Added instruction to hide Warnings from the xmlsimple_load_file function
* Fixed a bug which prevented proper display of description/summary with tags

Wonder if these nerdy posts are related to my job, well, the answer is no. As a good friend once told me, "one never heals from programming!". It must be true in my case....

Hi there, I’m afraid it’s the browser you use not the plugin…if you mean something different, please specify url and browser you use and I’ll try to give a look…

I did think about you, Elmar when someone else (a Frenchman this time) notified me of it. Versions 0.8/0.9 have fixed it.
