Default Blitz Blog

I suppose it had to happen... someone (me) has started a blog on CMPs known as the "Blitz Blog"

Quite useful for making announcements of updates to the Old CMP site.
You can even subscribe to it using RSS.

You can see it here.

Hi Cliff

A BLOG is short for "Web log", a kind of online diary with clickable links.

"RSS (RDF Site Summary - formerly called Rich Site Summary or Really Simple Syndication) is a method of describing news or other Web content that is available for "feeding" (distribution or syndication) from an online publisher to Web users. RSS is an application of the Extensible Markup Language (XML) that adheres to the World Wide Web Consortium's Resource Description Framework (RDF). Originally developed by Netscape for its browser's Netcenter channels, the RSS specification is now available for anyone to use."

Now if the aforementioned didn't confuse, then nothing will!

Simply, it means you can "subscribe" to it rather like bookmarking a page.

Did you have a look at it? If you give it a burl it should be reasonably self-explanatory.

Thanks for that Keith. Yes very confusing at times but I think I do understand and yes again I will try it as I am often browsing through your good site.

Cheers
Cliff

Keith,

It looks like a winner.

I will sign up when I get to work on Monday - too slow to load all of the good stuff out here in the woods.

... well Keith, your daugther should teach you German. I don't know why all the Aussies try to learn French, Spanish or even Italian if over 80 Mio. people speak German ;-)

Hi Keith, This looks good. I had an idea of starting something like this myself but I was not too sure how to go about it. Maybe I should look into it some more. Anyway keep up the good work.
Regards
Rod
