For those of you who use RSS to keep track of news online, I wanted to mention that NACHI.TV now has its own RSS feed. If you don’t know what RSS is, it stands for “Really Simple Syndication” and is a way to keep track of new items posted to the web sites you visit. You can tell a site has an RSS feed by looking for the RSS icon in your web browser (in the URL bar in Firefox, and in the toolbar in Internet Explorer 7):
You can use web applications such as Google Reader or desktop application such as Mozilla Thunderbird to keep track of RSS feeds. I keep track of web design blogs, the New York Times, and the InterNACHI message board using RSS in Thunderbird; that way all my latest news and e-mail are in the same place.
You can subscribe to NACHI.TV’s RSS feed at http://www.nachi.tv/feed.php (or go to any NACHI.TV page and click the RSS icon). Now that we’re releasing 4-5 episodes a month, this is a great way to keep up with all the new episodes.
The NACHI.TV RSS feed icon shows up in the far right of the URL bar in Firefox 2. It shows up to the right of the tabs bar in Internet Explorer 7, just to the right of the home icon.
We will be adding a feed icon to the bottom of each page for browsers that don’t have their own RSS mechanism, but that’s part of a layout revision that won’t go live for a few more days.
