on the third line down from the top..I show "Most visited"; Getting Started" and then "Latest Headlines" .

When I click on "latest headlines" I can only get BBC news. I want US news. What do I change to accomplish this change, please? Rich

Use an RSS feed from a US news website.

You can subscribe to one of these or visit your favorite site and click the orange RSS button on the location bar or on a website to subscribe to a feed.

Thank you...that did it. Can't believe that I am the only dummy who ever asked this question, though. regards, Rich

I tried to add a feed, but it doesn't change the Latest Headlines. I tried editing the tab's properties by pasting one of the listed URLs into the fields. This doesn't work either. Changes to the properties window don't take.

You need to remove the current headlines feed bookmark and visit a website that offers an alternative feed and subscribe to that feed and select the Bookmarks Toolbar to place that feed if you want to see it there.

A Live (RSS) feed is just a regular bookmark with the exception that a feed location that has an XML file with the feed items is specified.
