This is hard to find, but the reasoning is valid. Feeds to the gadget are
via IE7. Open IE7 and click Tools > Toolbars > Feeds (or press
CTRL+SHIFT+J). Right-click the feed(s) you are using and click Properties.
click Settings for Default Schedule and select a time interval, or click Use
Custom Schedule and select a a Frequency. Note that if the feed has a
publisher's recommendation, that recommendation will be used.
Good luck,
Jim
