Torah Tidbits in the PALM of your hand - Technology serving Torah

In answer to several queries and to inform and encourage other Palm-ers to set up AvantGo for Torah Tidbits, here is a step-by-step for the creation of an AvantGo channel for TT. 

Connect to the internet. Go to the website – www.avantgo.com. If you already have an AvantGo account (it's free), log in. If not, click on SIGN ME UP. Follow the instructions for getting an account. When you have one, log in. 

On the right side of the page is the menu of your account. At the bottom of the list is CREATE CHANNEL. Click on it. 

Fill in the form as follows: 

Title: Torah Tidbits 
Location: http://www.ou.org/torah/tt 
Maximum channel size: 100k – leave it. 
Link depth – enter 2 
Images included: click YES 
Follow off-site links: leave NO 
Refresh – leave "on every sync" 
Now click SAVE CHANNEL 

That should bring you back to your menu of channels, which will now include Torah Tidbits. Next time you hotsync, the latest TT will (should) download into your Palm. 

Nothing else need be done after the above. This is a one-time channel creation; every hotsync will update TT and all your other channels. 

TT can also be downloaded from the website and read with TealDoc or other doc readers (But the AvantGo channel is nicer and easier.) 

Personal recommendations for other channels (find them at the AvantGo site): Beyond2000, Gallup Poll, Today in History, A daily dose of useless knowledge.
