Building a Pipe

To find out exactly how it works and if it was really as easy as advertised, I decided to build my own Pipe. Since I'm the networking editor at Computerworld.com, I built a Pipe that collects networking news from various sources and combines them into one feed. Here's how I went about it.

Clicking on "Create A New Pipe" brings up the editor, with a list of available modules on the left and the editing area on the right, sporting the helpful directions to "drag modules here."
