Browsing for Content
We’ve gathered the most popular content and put them into categories for easy browsing. Find what you want and add it to My Yahoo!.
Note: One of the categories of content that you can add is Open Apps, that is, small Yahoo! Applications mostly created by outside developers. See the Adding Yahoo! Applications tutorial for more information.
Here’s How
View the tab to which you want to add content by clicking its name in the tab bar.
Open the content gallery by clicking Add Content.
The gallery displays some content from which to choose, and a list of categories to browse on the right.
Scroll through the content by clicking the next and previous buttons at the bottom of the gallery.
If you’d like to see what the content will look like when added to your tab, move the cursor over the content area, then click Show Preview.
The preview displays in the content gallery giving you an idea of the type of content you’ll see.
Click Close Preview to close the display.
When you see content that you want on your tab, click the Add button.
The content appears at the top of your tab.
To view the content in a category, click the category name under Browse Content on the right.
If subcategories exist, they display next. For example, Entertainment has subcategories that you can further browse.
The content for the category displays on the left.
Scroll through the category content by clicking the next and previous buttons, then, when you find something you like, click the Add button.
Continue adding content as you like.
When you’ve added the content you want, click the I’m Done button.
All of the content you add appears at the top of the tab. You can move content to other locations in the tab by dragging each one by its title and dropping it in the new location. You can also move it to another tab. Moving Content shows you how.
If needed, set up the content to display information based on your specifications.
For example, to view movie times in your area, you need to specify your location.
What’s Next: Tips
The string of words at the top of the content gallery is a navigation tool that shows where you are in the category/subcategory hierarchy. To return to a higher level, click one of the links. For example, to return to the main Entertainment listing, click the Entertainment link.
You can also return to a higher level by clicking the back button next to the category name on the right side of the gallery.
You can move content to other places on the tab, and you can change the tab layout to accommodate your content.
