Discussion Area
Wondering what happened to VACRAO Discussion List?
As part of our new website design, we’ve gotten rid of the old email list and replaced it with a Discussion Area.
Now, all our discussions will be available on our site, searchable, archived, and best of all, you can subscribe to the RSS feed, and the content will come to you. We also offer a feed for content on our site, too.
Want the content to come to you?
What’s an RSS feed?
You may recognize the universal feed icon or these “chicklets” from your favorite Web sites, blogs and podcasts. These icons represent content in any format — text, audio or video — to which you can subscribe and read/watch/listen using a feed reader.
Why is This a Good Thing?
Technology evolution in online publishing has made it really easy to not only publish regular updates to web-based content, but also keep track of a large number of your favorite Web sites or blogs, without having to remember to check each site manually or clutter your email Inbox. You can now streamline your online experience by subscribing to specific content feeds and aggregating this information in one place to be read when you’re ready.
Bottom Line: Subscribing to feeds makes it possible to review a large amount of online content in a very short time.
How do I read feeds?
If you want to browse and subscribe to feeds, you have many choices. You can sign up with a free service, like Netvibes, Bloglines, NewsGator, etc., or you can read feeds in your favorite web browser. A handful of popular feed readers are listed in the sidebar on this page.
A typical interface for a feed reader will display your feeds and the number of new (unread) entries within each of those feeds. You can also organize your feeds into categories and even clip and save your favorite entries (with certain applications).
This seems too complicated. Can’t I just get email?
Once you get yourself a feed reader and add the feeds to all the places you like to go, you’ll never use the web the same way again! Feeds rock!
But, we do offer an email subscription service as well.
