I just added Health News directory. It's not completed yet, but you can still check out latest news in health. Let me know if you have any comment and/or suggestion.

Here's the thing. First, I made this, and then I made this (I need to spend a little more time on both, BTW). So, when I started working on this Health News, I already had script and I also had pretty good idea of where I look to search RSS feeds. Actually, it didn't take that long to make the first news site, but ...

1. If you recall, I was asking a bunch of questions related to this in your forum for a couple of months (or longer), so I had pretty good idea of what I want to do and how I want to do, before I actually started coding and all and ...

2. You may notice similarities between search directory and news. News uses much of code in search directory, and I already modified search directory in the past to have desired effects (flattened out URL strings, readable URL strings, etc.).

So, you can say that I did a lot of preparation, and I was really getting ready to implement this thing.

Well, you seem to have made a good job of it. Do you think it's resulted in more traffic on the other two?

It hasn't been resulted in more traffic yet (it's been less than a month since I put them up). I'll need to wait and see, although I will add news module in education site, create a new news site and will make minor changes in existing news sites here and there.

It's still too early to say then, if it's only been a month. I can't see how it can harm... good luck,
