One of the most popular features of Internet portals, websites, pages and even emails is a frame that features an organized list of news headlines and periodic updates from other web sources. Really Simple Syndication, formerly “Rich Site Summary” or simply, RSS makes this possible.
Most users visit a lot of websites whose content continually change, such as news sites, community organization or professional association information pages, medical websites, product support pages, and blogs. As Internet surfing became an intrinsic part of business and leisure, it became important to get rid of the very tedious task of repeatedly returning to each website to see updated content.
RSS easily distributes information from different websites to a wider number of Internet users. RSS aggregators are programs that use RSS to source these updates, and then organize those lists of headlines, content and notices for easy reading. It allows computers to automatically retrieve and read the content that users want, then track changes and personalize lists of headlines that interests them.
The specially made computer programs called “RSS aggregators” were created to automatically find and retrieve the RSS feeds of pre-selected internet sites on behalf of the user and organize the results accordingly. (RSS feeds and aggregators are also sometimes referred to as "RSS Channels" and "RSS Readers".)
The RSS aggregator is like a web browser for RSS content. HTML presents information directly to users, and RSS automatically lets computers communicate with one another. While users use browsers to surf the web then load and view each page of interest, RSS aggregators keeps track of changes to many websites. The titles or descriptions are links themselves and can be used to load the web page the user wants.
RSS starts with an original Web site that has content made available by the administrator. The website creates an RSS document and registers this content with an RSS publisher that will allow other websites to syndicate the documents. The Web site also produces an RSS feed, or channel, which is available together with all other resources or documents on the particular Web server. The website will register the feed as an RSS document, with a listed directory of appropriate RSS publishers.
An RSS feed is composed of website content listed from newest to oldest. Each item usually consists of a simple title describing the item along with a more complete description and a link to a web page with the actual content being described. In some instances, the short description or title line is the all the updated information that a user wants to read (for example, final games scores in sports, weblogs post, or stock updates). Therefore, it is not even necessary to have a web page associated with the content or update items listed -- sometimes all the needed information that users need would be in the titles and short summaries themselves.
The RSS content is located in a single file on a webpage in a manner not very different from typical web pages. The difference is that the information is written in the XML computer code for use by an RSS aggregator and not by a web user like a normal HTML page.
There are 2 main parts that are involved in RSS syndication, namely: the source end and the client end.
The client end of RSS publishing makes up part of the system that gathers and uses the RSS feed. For example, Mozilla FireFox browser is typically at the client end of the RSS transaction. A user’s desktop RSS aggregator program also belongs to the client end.
Once the URL of an RSS feed is known, a user can give that address to an RSS aggregator program and have the aggregator monitor the RSS feed for changes. Numerous RSS aggregators are already preconfigured with a ready list of RSS feed URLs for popular news or information websites that a user can simply choose from.
There are many RSS aggregators that can be used by all Internet users. Some can be accessed through the Internet, some are already incorporated into email applications, and others run as a standalone program inside the personal computer.
RSS feeds have evolved into many uses. Some uses gaining popularity are:
•For online store or retail establishments: Notification of new product arrivals
•For organization or association newsletters: title listings and notification of new issues, including email newsletters
•Weather Updates and other alerts of changing geographic conditions
•Database management: Notification of new items added, or new registered members to a club or interest group.
The uses of feeds will continue to grow, because RSS aggregators make access to any information that individual users like more convenient and fun.

A GUIDE TO RSS FEEDS
A Guide on RSS Tool
by: Terry Leslie
RSS is an abbreviation that has evolved into the following, depending on their versions:
• RDF Site Summary (also known as RSS 0.9; the first version of RSS)
• Rich Site Summary (also known as RSS 0.91; a prototype)
• Really Simple Syndication (also known as RSS 2.0)
Today, RSS stands for 'Really Simple Syndication', and it has the following 7 existing formats or versions:
• 0.90
• 0.91
• 0.92
• 0.93
• 0.94
• 1.0
• 2.0
RSS tools refer to a group of file formats that are designed to share headlines and other web content (this may be a summary or simply 1 to 2 lines of the article), links to the full versions of the content (the full article or post), and even file attachments such as multimedia files. All of these data is delivered in the form of an XML file (XML stands for eXtensible Markup Language), which has the following common names:
• RSS feed
• Webfeed
• RSS stream
• RSS channel
They are typically shown on web pages as an orange rectangle that usually has the letters XML or RSS in it.
RSS feeds can be used to deliver any kind of information. Some of these 'feeds' include:
• Blogs feed - each blog entry is summarized as a feed item. This makes blog posts easier to scan, enabling 'visitors' to zoom in on their items of interest.
• Article feed - this alerts readers whenever there are new articles and web contents available.
• Forum feed - this allows users to receive forum posts and latest discussion topics.
• Schedule feed - this allows users (such as schools, clubs, and other organizations) to broadcast events and announce schedule changes or meeting agendas.
• Discounts or Special feed - this is used to enable users (such as retail and online stores) to 'deliver' latest specials and discounted offers.
• Ego or News Monitoring - this enables users to receive 'filtered' headlines or news that are based on a specific phrase or keyword.
• Industry-specific feed - used by technical professionals in order to market, promote, or communicate with current (and prospective) customers and clients within their specific industries.
RSS feeds enable people to track numerous blogs and news sources at the same time. To produce an RSS feed, all you need is the content or the article that you want to publicize and a validated RSS text file. Once your text file is registered at various aggregators (or 'news readers'), any external site can then capture and display your RSS feed, automatically updating them whenever you update your RSS file.
RSS tools are useful for sites that add or modify their contents on a regular basis. They are especially used for 'web syndication' or activities that involve regular updates and/or publications, such as the following:
• News websites - as used by major news organizations such as Reuters, CNN, and the BBC.
• Marketing
• Bug reports
• Personal weblogs
There are many benefits to using RSS feeds. Aside from being a great supplemental communication method that streamlines the communication needs of various sectors, RSS tools and feeds can also have tremendous benefits in your business, particularly in the field of internet marketing.
RSS tools and feeds provide Internet users with a free (or cheap) and easy advertising or online marketing opportunity for their businesses. Below are some of the RSS features that can help make your internet marketing strategies more effective.
1. Ease in content distribution services. With RSS, your business can be captured and displayed by virtually any external site, giving you an easy way to 'spread out' and advertise them.
2. Ease in regular content updates. With RSS, web contents concerning your business can now be automatically updated on a daily (and even hourly) basis. Internet users will be able to experience 'real time' updates as information in your own file (such as new products and other business-related releases) is changed and modified simultaneously with that of the RSS feeds that people are subscribed to.
3. Custom-made content services. With RSS, visitors can have personalized content services, allowing them total control of the flow and type of information that they receive. Depending on their interests and needs, visitors can subscribe to only those contents that they are looking for (such as real estate or job listings).
4. Increase in (and targeted) traffic. With RSS, traffic will be directed to your site as readers of your content summary (or 1 to 2 lines of your article) who find them interesting are 'forced' to click on a link back to your site.
These are just several of the many things that you can do with RSS. The possibilities are endless, and they are all aimed at providing you with an effective internet marketing strategy for your business.

How to Clean the Registry
How to Clean the Registry
by: Ray Geide
In the beginning Windows' registry consisted of two files totalling around 5mb in size. Today it consists of at least 12 files with the Software file itself being 30mb or bigger in size. As the size of the registry has exploded, so has the trash and clutter in it. It may seem like a daunting task, but cleaning the registry properly can fix system problems, speed your computer up, and make it run more efficiently.
I have spent many years developing and refining thousands of procedures to do just that. I could share these methods of hunting down the trash with you and let you find them and delete them by hand, but if you were to sit down at your computer right now and work nonstop, you would still be busy with them a week from now when the next issue of Ray's Computer Tips arrives. By then your registry would have new clutter and you would have to start all over again.
To make registry cleaning easier on everyone, I wrote a program called RegVac Registry Cleaner (http://regvac.com/regvac.htm) to perform those procedures. It has been so successful that several companies have asked me to model their registry cleaners after RegVac and even more have copied processes that first debutted in RegVac.
The first place RegVac cleans is the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT section (the Classes Vac in RegVac does this). This section contains settings for the classes of Windows. Think of a huge box full of snakes and you will get an idea of how complicated and interwoven it is. It is so complicated that many registry cleaners bypass it or simply perform surface scans of it. RegVac uses over a hundred processes to follow each tentacle of each class deep into this area and make sure that they abide by the rules.
Next RegVac validates the entries in 22 lists with 7 different methods (the FilesList Vac does this). This is a minor part of RegVac but the bulk of most other registry cleaners even though they usually do not clean all 22 lists.
Another part of RegVac, the Software Vac, which is unique to RegVac, finds old software sections in the registry and provides a way to remove that software's entire branch. Other registry cleaners only remove a few entries in this area often leaving huge portions of the registry that do nothing but take up space and get in the way.
Even more trash can be discovered in hundreds of stashes used to store data you will never use. Most registry cleaners do not even touch these. The Stash Vac lists these stashes and lets you go through and select which ones to empty out. Please use caution when using the Stash Vac because some of the items listed there may be important. For example, one folder in the Stash Vac lists places where data for international keyboards are stored. You probably will never use the data for Bulgarian keyboards, so you can remove it, but if you live in the US you may experience problems after removing the United States 101 keyboard. The items that you can safely remove are usually obvious.
Last but not least, when cleaning the registry, you should look for broken links to files on the computer (this is what the Bad Link Vac does). If a file is referenced in the registry but it does not exist on your hard drive, that is a good indicator that something is wrong. Many programmers start out writing a registry cleaner thinking all it has to do is check for these broken links and remove them. In fact, that is all many registry cleaners do.
Even though that is all they do, they often don't do it correctly. If you check the results of such scans, you will find out that many of the broken links are really good links. I spent several months refining this part of RegVac so that as far as I know it is 100% accurate. Despite this, please realize that some software enter broken links in the registry and require them to be there in order for them to run. RegVac skips the ones it knows about, but you still need to be careful with this part of RegVac.
RegVac has six more tools that clean even more areas: the Add/Remove Editor, the System Config Utility, the OpenWith Editor, the AutoComplete Editor, the Junk Keys Editor, and Registry Backup, Pack, and Restore.
Many of you already use RegVac but if you don't, you can downloaded a free 30 day trial of RegVac at http://regvac.com/regvacz.exe. For more information about RegVac Registry Cleaner go to http://regvac.com/regvac.htm. If you like RegVac, you can purchase it for only $29.95. All future updates are free.
Keep the Windows registry clean and running smoothly with RegVac Registry Cleaner.

ABOUT ANTI VIRUS
What ever free anti-virus program you have and use on your computer, [and if you don't have one then I hope that you are running Linux or a Macintosh]. Then ensuring that you actually scan your computer for virus infections on a regular basis is an absolute must.
Recently I have changed allegiance from AVG Anti-Virus to Avast Home edition. My reasons are that the detection rate, definition file updating and scanning functions of Avast are a better match for me and my Windows XP computer. You may prefer a different anti-virus program. What program you do use needs to be updated regularly. Virus files are released on a daily basis.
I must admit that recently I have been rather slack and have ignored the scheduled scan for my computer for over one month. I should have run the anti-virus scan when I wasn't using the computer, but I couldn't seem find a time when I'm not using the computer, except when I'm asleep. I don't leave the computer on when I'm asleep, I do try and save energy where I can.
When I do run an anti-virus scan whilst I'm using the computer, the computer is invariably slowed down as Avast scans each file on my computer [which is quite a few files, nearly 500GB of hard disk space]. So I kept putting it off the scan recently. That was not a wise decision.
I actually let Avast run a full scan, whilst making dinner, which is a perfect time to run a virus infection scan. So trusty Avast, uninterrupted from my impatience found 3 viruses. They may have been the behemoths of all viruses, they may have been viruses that might not have done much damage. I don't remember the name of the viruses, as they all got dealt with as viruses should, kicked into computer oblivion.
So, the valuable lesson I learned was, make sure you schedule your anti-virus program to scan at least once per month, and let it do its job. Now with Avast I have a few options that come in handy.
The first option is to run a boot scan. This means that Avast will scan my hard drives before the computer is booted up entirely and is able to scan my computer without interruptions from me and from any running processes. This is the scan I run the most now.
The other option I have is to schedule a scan for a time when I am not using the computer. Running a scan like this would be best run in safe mode. When your computer is in safe mode, very few processes are running that could interfere with the anti virus scan, and this helps the scan the computer faster and with better results.
So as straightforward as it sounds, actually running your up to date anti-virus software will reap results. Just plan your scan. Simple, but ultimately effective.

You can download a registry scanner for free, I even left you a link at the bottom of this article. what the registry scanner will do is tell you how many errors you have on your registry.
Once you know about your errors, it's time to fix them. You don't want to attempt to edit the registry by hand - thats a recipe for disaster! In fact, it's a good idea to run a backup of your registry before you do anything to it at all. It's not likely to be needed, but on the off chance something went wrong, a backup is always nice to have.
Using a registry cleaner is not hard at all. You will get a feel for how the software works when you take the free scan. Instructing the software to fix the problems it found is not any harder. Simply tell it to automatically repair the errors and wait a few minutes for it to do it's job. If you are using a good quality registry cleaner, these steps will be point and click easy.
After you have had the software clean up your registry, you will have a computer that runs faster and with less problems than before. The improvements can be so drastic in some cases that you will feel like it's a brand new computer.

ABOUT SPYWARE
Spyware, in easy terms, is a computer program that monitors what you do on your computer and then sends that information to another party over the Internet. As far as the "spying" goes, many kinds of spyware can keep track of the web sites that you visit. This enables third parties to see what you are interested in, and send you advertisements in the form of spam. Some legitimate companies use spyware for advertisement purposes. This type of spyware is often referred to as adware, and is not as malicious as other spyware. At the same time, however, it is just as annoying to most computer users. Some spyware can be much more dangerous than this, and can even keep a record of every keystroke that you type on your computer. In other words, it can detect your passwords and even collect your credit card or bank account information, if you type it into your computer. This type of spyware can lead to identity theft, stolen funds, and some rather large headaches! Where does spyware come from?
One of the most common ways of getting spyware on your computer is by visiting web sites that try to install it on your computer. Many of these web sites have spam on them that trigger pop-up screens to appear on your screen. These pop-up screens can tempt you to click on them by offering free prizes, games, blogs, and other fun things. However, when you click on one of them, they install malicious files onto your computer. Sometimes you won't even realize what has happened. Other times, you will know immediately that your computer has been infected - as your will get bombarded with pop-up screens or your home page will change to something other than what it was. How can you get rid of spyware on your computer? There are a large variety of computer software programs available on the market today that can eliminate spyware from your computer. This software is known as anti-spyware. Some of the more popular anti-spyware programs include Webroot Spy Sweeper, SpyBlaster, and Windows Defender.
You can purchase these programs in computer and electronics stores, or you can even download them directly off of the Internet from their official web sites. Some anti-spyware programs are free; however the best ones typically come with a price. Sometimes your Internet cable or DSL service provider (if you have one) will provide you with an anti-spyware program included in your package. No matter what type of anti-spyware program you get, you will be able to update your anti-spyware programs as newer versions become available.
How often should you run your anti-spyware program? If you really want to be safe about it, you should run your anti-spyware program every time you use your computer. They are fairly quick programs to use, and can even run in the background while you work on something else.
