Hi MJ, Since that was an item included in the draft (under channel manager and the main>advanced options), I should ask why you recommend not packaging software with any sample Plucker-compatible content, for new users who don't know any URLs, or don't feel like always keeping up to date with them as they change? This was drafted as a "gallery" type list of URLS, title, (category, a sentence description?) with their respective default values for maxdepth, how often to update, etc. A formatted XML file of categorized sample suggestions of sites that are popular and open to all handheld browsers. The XML file is packaged in the manager. If the user is new, and doesn't know any URLs to any handheld sites (since they are non-standard URLs to handhelds, unlike knowing to type wap.contentprovider.com to connect to the provider's WAP site) or lost track of them (since they keep changing and becoming out of date as the handheld technology improves). I find it frustrating to have to hunt down that the site I want is under either some deep directory as a /low /lite /pda /handheld /palm /mobile /whatever in order to get it into Plucker. A button on the manager pulls the updated XML file down from plkr.org whenever the user feels like updating it to get the new/changed URLs. Best wishes, Robert
