Starting the Channel Wizard

There are many different ways to start the Channel Wizard that will guide you through the process of creating a new channel:

Choose New channel from the File main menu.
Drag a link [1] into My Channels.
Right-click on a link [1] in a web page and choose Subscribe in Awasu from the context menu.
Some web sites provide special links (using the feed:// protocol) that you can simply click on [2] to automatically subscribe to their feeds.

Starting the Channel Wizard There are several different types of channel that can be created, depending on where the channel's feed will be retrieved from.

However, most channels will be downloaded from the Internet and you should enter the feed's URL here (which should start with http:// or https:// and usually ends with .rss, .rdf or .xml).

You can also specify if the channel should have an expiry date, after which Awasu will ask you what you want to do with the channel (e.g. delete, extend or keep it).

This is useful if you are not sure if you are going to want to keep the channel, or for short-lived feeds such as blog comment feeds. You can always set this later, even if you don't do it now.
