Take a look on the sticky posts at the top of this forum and calibre help for adding news:
http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/news.html. There is an additional section at the end of this help called API documentation for recipes. Very useful. At least it is maybe a good idea to take a look to the command line interface help:

I use for recipe development two simple batch files in a working directory like "Your_Recipe" what runs the recipe via command line:
Your_Recipe.bat:
Code:
call Delete_Your_Recipe.bat
ebook-convert Your_Recipe.recipe .epub -vvv --debug-pipeline debug > Your_Recipe.log
And
Delete_Your_Recipe.bat:
Code:
rmdir debug. /s /q
del Your_Recipe.epub
del Your_Recipe.log
The first batch file call a delete-batch for all previous created debug and log files if available and start then the recipe in debug modus and collect all screen printed information’s in a log file.
-vvv defines the level of verbosity
The second batch simply delete all created directories and files (debug- and log files)
