RSS feed

What is RSS?

RSS (Rich Site Summary) is a format for delivering regularly changing web content.

Many news-related sites, weblogs and other online publishers syndicate their content as an RSS Feed to whoever wants it.

Why RSS?

Benefits and Reasons for using RSS

RSS solves a problem for people who regularly use the web.

It allows you to easily stay informed by retrieving the latest content from the sites you are interested in.

You save time by not needing to visit each site individually.

You ensure your privacy, by not needing to join each site's email newsletter.

The number of sites offering RSS feeds is growing rapidly and includes big names like Yahoo News.

A variety of RSS 
Readers are available for different platforms. 

Some popular feed readers include Amphetadesk (Windows, Linux, Mac), FeedReader (Windows), and NewsGator (Windows - integrates with Outlook). There are also a number of web-based feed readers available. My Yahoo, Bloglines, and Google Reader are popular web-based feed readers.

Once you have your Feed Reader, it is a matter of finding sites that syndicate content and adding their RSS feed to the list of feeds your Feed Reader checks. Many sites display a small icon with the acronyms RSS, XML, or RDF to let you know a feed is available.

Feed URL ?

A feed URL contains posts from the blog.
Every time a blogger makes a new post it appears in the feed URL.
If the feed URL is registered together with your blog we start pulling posts and display them on your blog page under your NetworkedBlogs app on Facebook.
If you want your posts to appear on any of Facebook targets you need to activate syndication.

Stopwatch....???

Would you like to know how long it takes to load a webpage? 

The most important content of your blog that catches readers attention should load the quickest. 

To help you identify which items are taking the longest to load you can use Stopwatch.

Enter your blog's URL into the text box and click "Start StopWatch". 

Stopwatch will then open your blog in a frame and will record the time it takes for everything on your blog to load, including images, videos, widgets, etc. Take note of the items that take the longest to load and modify them appropriately using our suggestions.

This program will measure the time for you. Enter the URL to be measured and watch the top of the window. 

How does it work?
The stopwatch is a small Javascript that runs on your computer (not the Numion server). It measures the time between the moment your browser starts to load the URL and when the browser signals that it has finished ("Done" in the status bar). The measurement therefore includes fetching and interpreting all HTML (including frames), images, and Javascripts. It does not include content that is handled by plugins. If the page is in the cache then the stopwatch will measure the faster loading time (see tip above). The accuracy is the accuracy of the Javascript timer, on most systems 10 milliseconds.  

Tip: to reload a page and bypass the cache of your browser:
Internet Explorer:	Hold the Control key and click the Refresh button on the toolbar.
Mozilla, Firefox, Netscape Navigator:	Hold down the Shift key and click the Reload button on the navigation toolbar.
Safari:	Hold down the Shift key and click the Reload toolbar button.
