Hi, I dont know whether anybody has used this...and i know that news sitemaps are applicable only for news websites...i would like to know whether anybody has succeeded in building this and submitting it to google? If so, can anyone point me to a good and easy method/software that i can use to build one myself?
Rewriteing Permalink (for wordpress blog) specifically for the google news is all you need to do. You don't need news sitemap or you don't need submit it anywhere
