Adding Content

Getting Started Searching for Content Browsing for Content Previewing and Adding Modules Adding RSS Content


Getting Started

One very important way that you can personalize My Yahoo! is to customize the content that appears on your personal pages. You can add, rearrange, and remove modules on topics that interest you from literally thousands of sources from across the Web.

My Yahoo! takes advantage of the RSS publishing format to gather the content that you select from a variety of sources and to display that content in an abbreviated form in one convenient location—your My Yahoo! pages. This means that you don't have to visit many different sites individually to see what's new—you simply scan headlines or brief article summaries and click on a link to read the full text.

Here's How


  1. Go to My Yahoo!.

  2. Click any of the Add Content links that appear near the top or bottom of the page.

    Click the Add Content link.

    The Add Content page appears.

  3. If you have more than one My Yahoo! page, select the page to which you want to add content from the pull-down menu on the Add Content page.

    Select the page to add content to.
