    You don't write in the reviews module. You just activate it. You write reviews elsewhere. The feeds module involves adding RSS addresses.

    Please see my answer regarding the reviews module here:

    Regarding feeds:

    - Go to any the site that you want to get the feed from. Look for the "RSS or XML" link or orange RSS button (okay, sometimes it's a different color). A RSS file will come up on the next page. (If the page looks like raw code, but don't let it scare you!).

    - To add the RSS URL to your Yahoo! 360° Feeds module, click on the "XML/RSS" button, select the URL found in the address bar of your browser, then use "Ctrl-C" on your keyboard to copy that address.

    - Click the "Add a Feed (via RSS)" in your Feeds module on your "My Page" in 360. Use "Ctrl-V" to paste the URL into the "Add a feed" space in that page. When you're done, click the "Save" button below.

    NOTE: Please note that feeds are updated on a schedule, so it may take a few hours before your feeds appear on Yahoo!.

    WARNING: Getting the link to be accepted without an error can take SEVERAL tries. I mean, SEVERAL. No kidding, even if you have the correct URL. The module is buggy. But I have eventually been successful in every feed that I've tried to add.

    The general help page has instructions -

    Then, the Yahoo team's blog has a post on the subject at -

    Even more information is available at http://developer.yahoo.com/rss/ .

    NOTE: Make sure that you set your permissions correctly for each module. Make sure to check how other people view your page by clicking on the drop down menu "Preview as seen by" at the top right of your 360 "My Page". Choose a permission group and click the "Go" button.
