Here you can create, edit, delete Multiheadlines Center Block and Scrool/Marquee Multiheadlines blocks Multiheadlines Center Block From the Create link you can make a new Multiheadlines center block. Following the next steps will end up deleting the old Multiheadlines center block if is already defined one and making a new one. So if you have some interesting feed urls in the old block, maybe you should copy/paste somewhere[into a text editor] to use them later. Multiheadlines block is a center block. The content of it is, mainly, a table. Each cell is filled with feeds coming from different sites. You may consider every row of this table a category[e.g. Sport, Financial, Science, etc]. The first step of creating this kind of block is choosing how many rows ond columns do you want it to have in it and the refresh time for this block. This block works pretty much as the regular headlines blocks from php-nuke, the entired content of it is cached locally in a database table. After passing a certain period of time [refresh time] the content it is refreshed and so on. Knowing this you shouldn't select many rows and columns cause when the refreshing time comes the system will make reading requests to all of sites [feeds urls] from where the feeds are coming from. If you have saying 3 columns and 2 lines this means 3x2 = 6 sites. These reading requests to remote sites can last long, depending to the connection of your site to the remote site. Also don't choose short refresh time for this block for the same reason. On the second step of creating this block you must:

• Enter here the name of the block - This will be also the name of the block[in PHP-Nuke Block administration too].
