Hey,

I've been working on an Arabic recipe myself, since I think its bad that there is very little in the ways of news feeds for Arabic readers. I've been working on getting Al-Ahram, an Egyptian news paper company.

However the only problem I'm having is getting the text to be right-to-left (RTL). It works, and the text is still readable - its just a bit strange when the last sentence starts half-way due to it not rendering in RTL (well more specifically, it seems to be left-aligned instead of right-aligned if that makes sense).

If you'd like, I can upload this for you and you can try it and tell me what you think. I do plan on making more Arabic news feeds, because I really need to practice my Arabic reading. I've grown up with Arabic because my mother is Egyptian, however I never really learned to read and write until much later on in life.

Let me know if you'd like to try my recipe. However for now, I'll upload today's news pull in mobi format. Let me know what you think.

P.S. I have spent a fair amount of time to try and cancel a lot of useless stuff from the RSS feeds, e.g. comments at the bottom and other various things. I'm still having trouble getting rid of the Facebook and Twitter links, since those tags on their site don't have labels. Is there another way to get rid of these?
