I was attempting to add FoxNews to my KDE News Ticker and was finding it a challenge finding news feeds to add. So I stumbled across theSyndic8.com web site.
It's a wealth of news feeds of about every subject you can image. I even added a Steelers news feed so I can keep up with the team news.
Adding them to KDE was simple as well. I also found getting the icon added was very simple, simply put in the site URL www.site name.com then add /favicon.ico
That will use the sites favicon as the image displayed in the news ticker.
