Post by: q1n on January 28, 2004, 02:51:32 PM
I can get the Weather section to work on my pda but I am not sure how the "News" section works. How do I get this section to work? Thanks!

3. in the rss section click new

4. add the http:// address of the rss feed you want to use.

5. fill in the amount of time between refresh

6. fill in the nymber of offline pages to cache

7. fill in the name ex: BBC etc.

Not saying that MSN doesn't have a rss feed, you have to find it. Yahoo does have one, don't remember the address. Do a search here in the forum, you will find it.
