    Hello guys i am responsible for managing some websites and i tried to add Google News Feed.

    Google News page displays titles twice and i noticed that some of titles has unwanted encodings (e.g 'Juno' tops indie Spirit Awards - Baltimore Sun)

    While displaying feed on my website can i show these characters correctly? Or should i call Google to fix these issues)

    I also want to eleminate one of titles.

    Any suggestions?

    I appreciate your help, thanks.

    I don't know what rss parser script you use, but according to my best knowledge rss2html script may solve your problem. In a different html file you have the possibility to edit the layout of the parsed new, so all you need to do is to exclude the story title from the template file so the duplication would be solved. The other issue is the encoding. It offer you to set the encoding of the output, so if I were you I would look into this.
    Godd luck!

    thank you both,

    @Bagi Zoltan,

    I'm currently using DotNetNuke Framework to display RSS feeds and i would be glad if you could provide a sample for rss2html & encoding.

    Regards.
