Link of the Week

This week, I’ve been hard at work putting up a new page on the web site that will keep you up to date with health news from me and others. You can find it by going to:

www.heartratehealth.com/hrhnews/

If you’ve never seen a “blog” before, this is what one looks like.

I’m also trying to keep up with the kids by offering what’s known as an “RSS Feed”. For those of you in the know about that, you can go to the page and add the feed to your reader or your “My Yahoo” page.

For those of you who aren’t in the know about RSS, which is exactly where I was about 10 days ago, let me explain it to you a little. (Or, if you’re not interested, just go to the page above, and I’ll get back with you next week.)

…Still here? Great. Let me “feed” you a little treat.

RSS stands for “Really Simple Syndication,” and it’s a content publishing standard that has caught fire in the last few months, with some even predicting that RSS will replace e-mail as THE standard for communicating with each other.

The reason why it’s all the rage is due to the control the user has over the content they receive. With e-mail communications, we take our chances these days as to whether it’s actually going to arrive when and where we want it to.

You can thank the spammers for this state of affairs. By sending out billions upon billions of e-mails a day, they have overwhelmed the e-mail servers of even (or especially) the largest providers like AOL, Yahoo, and Hotmail.

To combat these folks, the major companies have set up special ways to “guess” at what you want to receive and what you don’t. If

you’re like me, you don’t think they do a very good job, and you still get dozens of e-mails you really don’t want while your friends’ messages are often banished to the junk folder.

Now, through RSS, you can get the content you want to read delivered and organized right into a special program. I have to say, it’s pretty clever, and also really easy, as well.

Essentially, you tell this little program to check on the news of a certain content provider every couple of hours or days. The way it checks on it is through something called a “feed”, as in news feed.

A feed is a little piece of code generated by the publisher that

tells your computer where to look for new headlines. The feed reader downloads the headlines and shows you a little of the article for you to decide whether you want to read it.

So, you can “feed” on as much as you want this way and actually help yourself.

If you’d like, I’ll lead you through the example of how to get the HRH Program feed added to your program, and then you’ll know within a few hours if I have anything new to bother, errr, I mean enlighten, you about.

First, you’ll need to download an RSS reader. I used RSS Reader, which I like. You can go to www.rssreader.com and click through to download the program.

I’ll wait for you here…

OK, so now you’ve got your reader downloaded. Now, click on thatlink to the HRH News page:

www.heartratehealth.com/hrhnews/

If you scroll down the page a little, you’ll see a little orange box with “XML” written in it. Here’s the only tricky part. Instead of doing a regular click on it, you need to RIGHT click the orange box. On the little menu that pops up, find and click on “copy shortcut”…regular click thistime.

Now, go back to your RSS Reader and find the “add” button with a “+” on it. Click there. On mine, it automatically copies the right codeinto the space, but if not, go to the box where it needs the feed code and type “Ctrl + V” simultaneously. This copies the short cut into there.

Click next and it will find the feed. Click next again and it will add it to your “My Feeds” section.

Now, your RSS Reader is configured to go out and get everything new from my site and present it to you right in that window.

I’ll still be sending you these e-mails newsletters…for now. But I may eventually switch to doing it this way exclusively. If I do, you’ll already be comfortable with it.

Whew! That took a little longer than I thought. Hopefully your boss wasn’t watching you doing this! If they were, just tell him or her you were getting up to speed on the newest communications technologies.

And that’s it for this week. Keep well fed.
