i have had SlashDock running in my dock for a while telling me when MacSlash and Slashdot update and i havn't been visiting MacOS X Hints as quickly as it updates (unlike Slashdot and MacSlash!).
that all changes now! :) SlashDock has a config file that tells it where to get its headlines. the file is located at:
~/Library/Preferences/SlashDock.config.plist.
[Editor's note: This file was not installed by default when I loaded Slashdock the first time. I had to open the SlashDock package (control-click on the app and Show Package Contents), then navigate to Contents -> Resources, and then drag a copy of SlashDock.config.plist to the prefs folder.
And it turns out it's just as easy to add content from www.macosxapps.com for the latest Mac OS X Application releases -- just read the rest of this article for the instructions for both.]

To add MacOSXHints, just open that file and add the following XML between the and the first tag, or between any - or - pair:
<dict>
<key>fetchIntervalInSeconds</key>
<integer>2400</integer>
<key>headlineDescriptor</key>
<string>MacOS X Hints - Get the most from X!</string>
<key>headlineSiteUrl</key>
<string>http://www.macosxhints.com/</string>
<key>headlineUrl</key>
<string>http://www.macosxhints.com/backend/geeklog.rdf</string>
<key>imageUrlPrefix</key>
<string>http://www.macosxhints.com/images/topics/</string>
<key>name</key>
<string>macosxhints.com</string>
</dict>
And for macosxapps, you'd insert the following code:
<dict>
<key>fetchIntervalInSeconds</key>
<integer>2400</integer>
<key>headlineDescriptor</key>
<string>The Source For MacOS X Software</string>
<key>headlineSiteUrl</key>
<string>http://www.macosxapps.com/</string>
<key>headlineUrl</key>
<string>http://www.macosxapps.com/backend/macosxapps.rdf</string>
<key>imageUrlPrefix</key>
<string>http://www.macosxapps.com/images/topics/</string>
<key>name</key>
<string>macosxapps.com</string>
</dict>
