The little icons at the top of each module may be small and unassuming, but they can be quite useful in getting your page exactly the way you want it.

Refresh (circling arrows): Click this when you want the freshest information possible. If new items are available, they’ll appear in your module.

Module Options (cog): Access a bunch of settings and functions specific to that module.
• Set the amount of information you want to show in each module such as number of headlines or format (include images, headlines only, short summaries, etc.)
• Share the module with someone by email or IM
• Set up Alerts

Here’s an example from the Engadget module:

Delete (X): You can probably figure that one out on your own.

  1. The refresh icon doesn’t appear to work on most of the modules/RSS feeds.

  4. How do I get the fall page to stay on my page?

    Comment by Deborah Schreiber — September 30, 2007 #

  5. Hi Deborah, once you are in the theme area and find Fall (under Seasonal), click on the image of Fall leaves. It will then show as your theme (this may take a second or two). Click “Close” at right. Be sure that you’re signed in. That way, you’ll see your theme every time you access your page.

  6. Will My Yahoo Beta eventually allow me to display 20 stories like the original?

  7. Old Version allows user to read 3 columns of modules without scrolling sideways. Columns in new version are too wide to allow this. The user has to scroll sideways to read them. This is not good. Can users adjust column width? If not, time to go back to original version.

    Thanks.
