RSS & FEED TECHNOLOGY ABCQuestions? Comments? email us: postmaster[at]neurobiologyoflipids.org Page view and respond options:
 email alerts or subscribing to 
RSS feeds. Every way to learn NoL research news has its own taste, so,
you may wish to try what would be best for you. Collection web pages,
for example, has a section that lists new articles titles only, a
feature missed in Feeds or email alerts (that include abstracts of
published articles). This page provides basic RSS and Feed technology
information.Please note that in order to view NoL collection web pages one should allow his/her browser to run Active X content from our web site. Otherwise, you won't be able to see the scripted Neurobiology of Lipids collections' data.
 A
feed, also known as RSS feed, XML feed, syndicated content, or web
feed, is frequently updated content published by a website. It is
most often used for news and blog websites, but can also be used for
distributing other types of digital content, including pictures, audio
or video. Feeds can also be used to deliver audio content (usually in
MP3 format) which you can listen to on your computer or MP3 player.
This is referred to as podcasting.
The
most common formats are RSS and Atom. RSS stands for Really Simple
Syndication, and is used to describe the technology used in creating
feeds. Feed formats are constantly being updated with new versions.
Internet Explorer 7 supports RSS 0.91, 1.0, and 2.0, and ATOM .3, 1.0.
All web feed formats are based on XML (Extensible Markup Language), a
text-based machine readable computer language used to describe and distribute structured
data and documents.
When you first view a website, Internet Explorer 7 or Mozilla FireFox
will search for feeds. If feeds are available, the Feeds button will
change color (from gray to orange) and a sound may play to indicate that feeds are available.
Click the Feeds button, and then click the feed you want to see. To get
content automatically, you should subscribe to a feed.
You
view feeds on the Feeds tab in the Favorites (Bookmark) Center. To view your
feeds, click the Favorites Center button , and then click
Feeds. Additionally, other programs can display your subscribed feeds.
Internet Explorer, for example, provides the Common Feed List to other
programs. This allows you to subscribe to feeds with Internet Explorer
and read them in other programs, such as e-mail clients. Other web
browsers, such as Mozilla Firefox provides excellent feed management,
so, you may consider installing it as a backup browser of your computer
system.
NoL
feeds have the same content as our collection webpages, but feeds
are formatted differently. When you subscribe, your RSS reader
(included in Internet Explorer
7 or latest verions of FireFox) automatically checks the website and
downloads new content so you can
see what is new since you last visited the feed. On the other
hand, NoL Collections' web pages also have something special, such the
list (with no abstracts) of the titles of the recently published
articles. Moreover, NoL collection web pages do not require RSS reader
(and therefore can be used with earlier versions of Internet Explorer,
such as IE6). However, one should allow his/her browser to run Active X
content from NoL web site. Otherwise, you won't be able to see the
scripted Neurobiology of Lipids collections' data. You may wish to try
and compare all three literature digest options that we offer, so you
find what works best for you. Neurobiology of Lipids collections:
