Recently, we've received a few e-mails asking how to delete items from myFavorites, so I took a few minutes to create the image below to help answer these questions.
In the current iteration of the myFavorites application you can only delete one item at a time, so for now this is a one-by-one process.
We've talked about adding multi-item edit functionality to the application as one of our future features. Is this something you would be interested in? We'd love to hear your comments.

http://myfavorites.earthlink.net/rss/tag/ipod
If you're a Reader user you can add these to your Reader application using the handy Toolbar button.
Additional changes that just came out include some font and text modifications to make things easier to read, and a behind-the-scenes interface to smooth out the way you can add favorites from other EarthLink sites and applications.
Let us know what you think.

Brief instructions after the jump...
That is it. For now, this is only a solution for those bloggers using the WordPress platform. Does anyone know of a similar plug-in for Moveable Type?
Add the myFavorite module to your Personal Start Page.
The edit page allows you to customize what content gets populated into your widget(s). You can actually add more than one myFavorites widget to your Start Page if you want.
If you need assistance making sense of the terminology we’ve written some Help documentation.
]]>The new release included:
The ability to import your Personal Start Page Favorites can be found in the setting menu. We've some addition Personal Start Page integration on the way but it isn't ready for prime time just yet.
The ability to change your display name can also be found in the settings menu pictured above. For example, see how I changed my display name to: "Tag-o-matic".
The improved popular page now calculates what's popular based on an algorithm Tom the myFavorites lead engineer developed. Per Tom, "We look at recently-added count, total count, and date. Those three, in order, determine popularity."
]]>The Everyone's Most Recent page shows the latest finds by all users of the myFavorites application (disclaimer: except those entries people make private).
I like to check this page a few times a day, just to see what other people have saved. Sometimes I find interesting stuff I had no idea was available online. Couple of examples from today:

My name is Travis Metcalf and I'm the product manager for myFavorites. We have spent months developing it and are very happy to add it to the existing line up of EarthLink products and services. We hope you enjoy using it.
This blog is the place where we'd like to host conversations about the myFavorites application. It’s our sincere hope that you talk back to us (via comments on this blog) and tell us what you'd like to see in the product moving forward, what you think is broken, and last but not least, what you like about the application.
Currently, myFavorites is in 'beta', which means we are still making significant changes to the application to improve its’ features and functionality.
That's all I've got for now. As we ready our next myFavorites release, I’ll update you with what changes and improvements it includes.
In the meantime, if you have any suggestions we’d be glad to entertain the idea of adding them to the product at some point. We already have lots on the product roadmap but we’ll consider incorporating any great ideas.
