You can configure how many news you want to see per page, and whether links should open in a new window. But most importantly you can decide
what sections should be displayed on the home page. Your configuration will be stored in a cookie, meaning it will be remebered when you come back.
You can also choose a keyword which will be associated with your configuration. If you somehow lose your cookie (by changing the computer, for example) you
may restore the cookie by typing in your keyword below. But don't choose something too common, it might get overwritten by someone else's settings.
