5 July, 2011: You can now add to, or remove from, the default set of sections that my Guardian webapp gets the latest news for. Previously there was a hard-coded list of sections, a fairly arbitrary list that was largely off the top of my head, missing Education, Law, Society, Football, Stage and a couple of others. | 2 comments
