First visit
When you first visit Nowsy.com, you will have one page, which already
displays a number of infoboxes. You can easily delete, edit, or add infoboxes. Or:
add feeds.
Basic functions
Next to the title of each box, you can see four small pictures
 | Click this to edit a box |
 | Click this to expand or collapse a box |
 | Click this to read the full feed, including descriptions |
 | Click this to remove a box |
Two types of boxes: "infoboxes" and "feedboxes"
You can add infoboxes and feedboxes to your page. An infobox is a box
with very specific information that you choose. Click on "add infobox" at
in the topmenu of your page to add an infobox. You can add specific searchwords
as default to every infobox you add.
If you want to add a (rss) feed to your page, simply click "add feed",
fill out the url of the feed, and you are done.
Why should I register?
Registered users have many more options. They can create multiple pages. And,
when you register, you can share pages, get code for searchboxes on your website,
and add your pages to Firefox, so you can search Nowsy directly from your browser.
Another reason to register is that we delete non-registered users when they do not
visit their page for one consecutive week.
Why is Nowsy different from other Ajax homepages?
We added "search" to Ajax homepages. To every infobox on your page, you
can add a specific searchword, and change the word anytime. And: when you use
the top searchform on your page, all the infoboxes will automatically display
info for your searchterm.
How many pages can I create?
Unregistered users can create one page. Registered users five.
Registered users will soon have more options.
How many boxes can I put on one page?
Right now twenty. Registered users will soon have more options.
