Here's how to use a custom home page in order to follow breaking news from different sites. Most news sites have RSS feeds in which you can customize for specific topics or general feeds.
To the left is what the top of my general news page looks like.
To create an igoogle page go to www.google.com/ig there are also other home page sites to consider such as Pageflakes, and MyYahoo.
iGoogle has a number of gadgets that are news oriented already. I like to customize what feeds I get, in what order. You can also edit your settings on each gadget you create to show as many or as little headlines as you would like. You can also add RSS feeds from blogs, and various websites.
To add a customized RSS feed to an iGoogle page click 'Add Stuff>>' in the upper right hand corner of your screen.
You will see the page in the image to the left. Highlighted is the link to 'add feed or gadget. Then simply add in the RSS feed link. Usually indicated by the orange feed icon, copy and paste that url. RSS feeds usually look something like this http://www.huffingtonpost.com/tag/julian-assange/feed/ pages full of html text. Thats it have fun guys.
