Hi!  I am a new user, and have been able to get the weather working great. Is there a manual or something, so I can figure out how to get the news working etc.? Thanks in advance.

Nope no manual yet. As for the news it is RSS feeds that you can put in the config file. Check your config file to see how they are set up.

Where do I get these RSS themes, and would I change these in the config file like I changed the weather location? Thanks.

This thread gives some links to RSS sources. To change the feed just replace or add another line in the config file. This is what an RSS feed line looks like in TodayPlus(just to make sure you understand).rss,3,60,http://slashdot.org/slashdot.rss,Slashdot,0

Can I take any web address and put the rss as you show? For instance can I do this.

Your code:  rss,3,60,http://slashdot.org/slashdot.rss,Slashdot,0

My code:    rss,3,60,http//cnn.com/cnn.rss,cnn,0 If this is wrong, where can I ge a list of US news? Thanks.

Sadly not.  The site must provide an RSS feed explicitly.  Check out the following post for a link and some discussion of possible RSS feeds:
