RSS feed reader

It uses the Google Feed Reader API to grab RSS feeds as JSON object we can make use of. It also uses the Handlebars templating library and jQuery

Application Functionality

1. Creating feeds array which has multiple entries, each of them has a name and URL.

2. Initializing a function to start application and to be called just after The Google Feed Reader API is loaded asynchronously.

3. Creating a function that load feeds from JSON object which has been grabbed from the Google Feed Reader API. It takes two arguments, the first is the id of the feed that will be loaded, and the second is the call back function that ensures completing the asynchronous function correctly.

4. Calling the Initializing function from step 2, after The Google Feed Reader API is done loading.

5. Appending all feeds to the DOM after assigning an id to each feed.

6. Loading feed content based on which feed name or link has been clicked on.

7. Finally, changing the menu behavior to allow hiding and showing it after clicking on the menu icon (the hamburger button).
