Adding categories

Assuming you want to add new category named BBC Top Stories, at the end of the file add the following line:
BBC Top Stories >> http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/rss.xml
Where “BBC Top Stories” is the title that will appear in the widget category list , “>>” separates the title and the rss link, and “http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/rss.xml” is the RSS link for widget to read.
