2. Getting Started

To start using KWebWatch, select "New" from the "Url" menu and fill in the dialog with data about the URL you want to track.

"URL Address" is the http address of the web page, or simply it's "URL". This can be entered with or without the "http://" prefix. That is, both "http://www.kde.org", and "www.kde.org" will work fine with KWebWatch.

"URL Name" is an alias for the URL - the text that will describe this entry in the KWebWatch main window.

The "Check Every:" drop down list box allows you to select how often KWebWatch should poll the URL to see if its contents have changed.

The "Use this browser" and "Use default browser" group lets you specify which web browser on your system should be used to view this URL. If "Use default browser" is selected, the URL will be shown by whichever browser is specified in the Options Dialog. KWebWatch ships with KFM configured as the default browser.
