damclean,

:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
: From: dave mclean
:
: > when people subscribe to what?
:
: You add channels (Web sites) that AvantGo
: downloads for you and then sends them to
: your Palm as a neat little package when
: you sync with your pc.  So, basically you
: "subscribe" to Web sites and they get the
: content for you, wrap it up and give it to
: you.
:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ok, that makes alittle more sense.  by "they" are you meaning avantgo when
referring to who retrieves and wraps up the content?

:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
: > how deep they want to link?
:
: Yeah, it determines how many pages AvantGo
: retrieves for you.  Each user controls how
: many links the program is supposed to follow.
: If you go one deep, that means it will follow
: every link from the first page and download
: the subsequent pages, but no further than that.
: It will ignore the links on the second pages.
:
: Additionally, a link depth of 0 will follow no
: links.
:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ok, this makes more sense.  do we need to subscribe for them to be able to
do this?

:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
: > i was thinking the categories might go at
: > the bottom, but that's just me.
:
: That's all good. Keeps the content up top,
: which is really important on the Palm.
: Content good.
:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i just added the categories to the bottom of the page.  lemme know what you
think.  i've got an avantgo version of the article page done as well.  i
just have to do alittle work to get an avantgo user page together as well.
are there any other pages on thesite that you think they should have access
to?

:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
: When designing pages for AvantGo, you should
: include the following META tag in the HEAD
: element:
:
: <META name="HandheldFriendly" content="True">
:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

added that.

lemme know how it looks in avantgo now.

thanks,
