TheDevTeam Launches RSS
We try to keep our website up to date with the type of information that will be of interest to any SME business. The articles all relate to the way in which IT can be used to enhance business functions. Some are of a technical nature that may be of interest to your IT department, others are more commercial in nature and address how the technology can be applied in practical and cost effective ways.
It is now possible to receive these articles as an RSS feed (go to the end of this article for general information on RSS). This is how it works:
Using the Firefox Browser
If you are viewing the site using the Firefox browser you will notice the orange icon in the bottom right hand corner. Click on it and add the TheDevTeam feed to the active bookmarks.
Firefox is the latest Open Source browser of the Internet that has already taken about 6% market share from Microsoft’s IE.
Using Microsoft IE
The current version of IE does not include an RSS reader, though the next version due out later in 2005, will certain have it as standard. However there is a third-party software install that will add it to IE 5 and to Outlook. It is a FREE down load available from www.attensa.com . Once it is installed you can add the RSS feed from any page that you are looking at by clicking the new RSS button that will be added to your tool bar.
RSS Readers
There are several applications that specialise in enabling RSS feeds. The one I used to use is SharpReader.

Web definitions for RSS

Short for RDF Site Summary or Rich Site Summary, an XML format for syndicating Web content. A Web site that wants to allow other sites to publish some of its content creates an RSS document and registers the document with an RSS publisher. A user that can read RSS-distributed content can use the content on a different site. Syndicated content includes such data as news feeds, events listings, news stories, headlines, project updates, excerpts from discussion forums or even corporate information. RSS was originally developed by Netscape.

It is quite common now to have separate domain names for each country or for separate white label sites; but it can lead to problems with running security log-in systems that enable your clients or admin managers, to run a single log in across all the domains. That is when you need Multidomain login which enables the ‘user state’ to be carried across transparently between them.
