By using the free AvantGo software and your palmtop computer's built-in synchronizing capabilities, you can take all your favorite eHows with you.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

Step1
Visit www.AvantGo.com and sign up for a free account.
Step2
Download and install the AvantGo software, then use your synchronize feature to install AvantGo onto your mobile device (Palm, Windows CE, or Wireless Access Protocol phone).
Step3
Finish the AvantGo registration process and explore AvantGo's channels on your desktop or laptop computer.
Step4
Start creating your own eHow channel on AvantGo by clicking the Create Channel button on the Channels page.
Step5
Open a new browser window on your computer (Ctrl+N in Windows, Command-N on the Mac), navigate to the eHow you want to download to your mobile device, such as "eHow to Boil Water," and click on the "Download to PDA" link above the eHow's step-by-step instructions.
Step6
Wait for the AvantGo window to appear, featuring a box with the eHow's title and URL.
Step7
Use the defaults in the Channel Size section of the box for all of your eHows, and in the Channel Refresh section, select the "only once" option.
Step8
Tap the Save Channel button at the bottom of the page, log out of your AvantGo window, and synchronize your mobile device.
Step9
Verify that your new eHow is now on your PDA (personal digital assistant) by opening AvantGo from the menu. The eHow title should be listed as one of your channels. Open it and you'll find an "eHow on the Go!" version of the eHow, customized for your PDA.
Step10
Stand in front of the stove without fear, because as long as you carry your palmtop computer, you'll be able to boil water with grace and style.

Tips & Warnings

  • You can use AvantGo's software to save all kinds of pages to your palmtop computer.
