Any feedback and opinion is truly appreciated. Thank you!

I'm using this approach in some of my apps. Comments Sure if you're familiar with HTML and JS you can do it. Look into jQuery Mobile. I'm using this approach in some of my apps.

Use Regex to: replace: ’ with: ' replace: & with: & replace: &#8220 with: " replace: &#8221 with: " replace: – with: - replace: "; with " replace: ": with " replace: ' with ' (there are likely more, you can add when you find them) You can take the RSS url from Yahoo Pipes and insert into a RSSInclude template. Some are free, however I use a template called "Naked HTML" each element contains a CSS classname that you can style in your own CSS files. You're required to have a membership to use this one $50 a year. Some templates are free. After you select content and style options, you can get a snippet: either javaScript, PHP, etc. that can be inserted into an html screen (and linked to your CSS.) I'm a beginner, so others can probably add more, or offer better ways to do this. Comments I've used yahoo pipes to customize RSS. To clean up html.
