From the Add Content page, you can search for subjects and sources, or you can browse through the content in the My Yahoo! directory. Browsing can be done by topic or by featured content.

Browsing by Topic: The My Yahoo! content directory organizes the best available content from across the Web into general topics, such as News & Media or Science. Within those topics, the directory offers more specific categories, such as Top Stories or Biology.

Go to the Add Content page.

Click on one of the topics listed along the left side of the Add Content page.

The topic results page will appear, displaying all the categories contained within the topic, along with the most popular items in that topic.

To browse a more specific content area, click on one of the categories. The Category Results page lists all the content in that category in order of popularity. Each item in the list represents a module you can add to your My Yahoo! page. If there are many items in that category, they may span more than one page.

You can view more details by clicking on the title of any result. A preview window will open, showing you the most recent headlines just as they would appear on your page.

Choose the content that you want on your page by clicking Add.

The content is now added to your page. To see your new My Yahoo! page, click Finished.

To keep adding modules to your page, click the Add Content plus sign  at the top left of the page.

Browsing Featured Content: Featured content is on the Add Content page, to the right of the topics list. My Yahoo! editors list high-quality content, such as the most popular modules or the coolest multimedia modules. Every week the In the Spotlight section features a different theme. These lists contains modules you can add to your page.

Go to the Add Content page.

Click one of the featured content lists.

The featured content results page lists all the content in that category in order of popularity. Each item in the list represents a module you can add to your My Yahoo! page. If there are many items in that category, they may span more than one page.

You can view more details by clicking on the title of any result. A preview window will open, showing you the most recent headlines just as they would appear on your page.

Choose the content that you want on your page by clicking Add.

The content is now added to your page. To see your new My Yahoo! page, click Finished.

To keep adding modules to your page, click the Add Content plus sign  at the top left of the page.

AND>>>>>>>>>>>>  Searching for content

Once you’re at the Add Content page, you can search for subjects and sources, or browse through the content in the My Yahoo! directory.

Searching: You can search for a specific subject using keywords, like “Alaska” or “recycling.” Or you can search for all the content available from one source, such as “USA Today” or “ESPN.”

Go to the Add Content page.

Enter your search terms in the Find Content box, then click Find.

The Search Results page will display all the items that match your search terms. Each item in the list represents a module you can add to your My Yahoo! page. If there are many results, they may span more than one page.

If My Yahoo! doesn’t find any matches for the search terms you’ve entered, the Search Results page offers you some suggestions for changing your search to get better results. My Yahoo! adds new content every day, so be sure to try your search again in the future.

You can view more details of any search result by clicking on the title. A preview window will open, showing you the most recent content just as it would appear on your page.

Choose the content that you want on your page by clicking Add.

The content is now added to your page. To see your new My Yahoo! page, click Finished.

To keep adding modules to your page, click the Add Content plus sign  at the top left of the page.
