Tutorial: Embedding Google Newsbar Wizard to WordPress
Published on Jun 9, 2008Topics: google google newsbar wizard tutorials web cms widgets wordpress
There are a number of ways to get targeted news, relevant to your niche, to your website. We've tried most of them, and the new NewsBar Wizard from Google News AJAX Search API is easily the best to date.
Simply enter the keywords you want to show up in the feed, copy the code generated by Google, and embed it to your website.
