Tip of the Week: RSS FEEDS
So you saw something you liked on MyStrands and now you want to stay in the know when things change. Oh what to do, what to do… well, the answer is simple: RSS! RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication, and is a web-feed (or “channel”) to a web address.
Anytime you see the RSS logo (the orange square with white curved lines on it), click it and save it to your bookmarks – that way you can always have access to the information without having to login to the page. I think this is a feature that is WAY under utilized, so I’ll give you an example: One day you click on my profile and like some journals that I had written… well, click on the nearby RSS button and it will load it to your bookmarks. Then when you are sitting at your computer at work you can mouse over your bookmarks and see a drop down menu of my 5 most recent journal entries.
And as always, if you see something you like, use the links below and spread the word:
Digg, Facebook, and De.licio.us
From your MyStrands homepage, click on “My Recommendations” just below the MyStrands Tab. On the right hand side of the page you can review your EXILE LIST by clicking on the “Review your Exile List" link.
From there you can see the artists and albums on your Exile List, add or remove them. Now you can listen to The Game without hearing 50 Cent, Christina without Britney, or Common without Mos Def.
Don't see anything on the Exile List? Go to your personal recommendations and use the buttons below each recommendation to tell us you either know it or don't like it. You can do this for song, artists, or complete albums (Don't know what a song sounds like? Click on the play button for a sample).
