    first off, go and get the FREE Yahoo! Widgets application at:

    http://widgets.yahoo.com/

    then download the RSS feed widget i created (a basic modification of a Chelsea FC widget of the same vein), which is located HERE!

    it works using the RSS feed provided by BBC Sport. clicking on the header of the widget takes you to Celtic's homepage, and clicking on the various story headlines will take you to the relevant story on BBC Sport's website.

    the thumbnail below is a screenie of my desktop, showcasing the newly created widget in action. it's a WIP, so any suggestions and comments are welcome.

    RSS is brilliant. Saves you loads of time from having to check all the various websites you go to and trawling through stories you aren't interested in.

    it's up on the yahoo widget gallery, and the original author has even made a reply to it. 15 downloads so far from there, which i guess isn't too shabby.
