NEW!
RSS

See the new icon on the left? The one on the top? It says RSS Newsgator? Well that is a new feature. If you get intrigued here is what it does.

When you sign up with Newsgator (for free of course) they give you a choice of hundreds of news sites that you can subscribe to for free. For instance, I subscribe to the New York Times opinion page, ZD net, BBC Headlines, USA Today Technology among others. They comprise my morning newspaper read.They also will put on the websites that you read if they have an RSS feed. So now we do!

Now Newsgator has it fixed so that when you read a section of your own personal news it marks it as read and doesn't bring it up again. It tells you when a new article has been added to any of your selections. It has the ability to save articles (called clippings) for you to keep for future reference. Also it has a link that will email a story to anyone that you want to.

I have only begun to learn how to do this but if it comes up at the next computer meeting we will yak about it.
