The Daily Devotional for Handhelds is a site parallel to the PCCWeb Daily Devotional, which has been especially designed for a web-enabled phone, personal digital assistant (PDA), or wireless handheld device. Examples are Blackberry, Palm and Handspring units. If you own one of these devices, you can download the handheld version of the Daily devotional to take with you on the go. You should bookmark that page so you can go to it directly. Or you can have the Daily devotional sent to your unit by e-mail, using the E-mail Subscription Page.
You can also enter a subscription on your handheld device to download the Daily web-site automatically every day, using AvantGo or other subscription software. Under My Account on the AvantGo login page, click on Create Channel and enter the following URL on that page: daily.presbycan.ca/handheld/home.html. The depth of linked pages is 1, updating is daily, and updating should take place at a time after 3:10 a.m. Central Time (09:10 GMT).
On the Main Page, you can read the Devotional for the day, and link to three previous day's devotionals (in case you miss a day or two). You can also link to the PrayerLine Requests page, and the PrayerLine Posting page. Also from the Main Page there is a link to the Site Index and the Guide to Daily Features. All the pages mentioned so far have been specifically designed for handheld devices. They are short (less than 7K) and simple in layout. Many of the pages linked from the Site Index have not been so designed, but most will work on handhelds. If there is a parallel page that has been designed for handhelds, there will be a link to it on the very top line of the page.
