    How do you sort the Content by Date (most recent first)?  My RSS Content on the Start page is always out of chronological order. Thanks!

    Is there a way to get RSS content from multiple sources?  For example, I want to get the RSS content from your weblog and MSDN: Visual Basic Headlines

    The start page seems to be very limited.  I can't find a way to enter a proxy so I get the RSS feeds.
