Using the RSS Feed Module









RSS Feed Module

1. Enter "Edit Mode" of your space.

2. Click "Customize"

3. In the "Modules" dropdown, select "RSS Feed"

4. Save your layout

 

To associate a feed with that module, just click "Edit" on that module.  You'll be presented with some sample feeds or you can type in any feed URL.  Give it a name and the number of items you want to appear on your space and you're finished! 

 

I just used this feature (one of my favorites) to syndicate my BHI-Sharepoint server at Box Hill here on my space (it's on the right-hand side).

Couple tips (photos, comments)










How do I set the default photo album shown in the Photos module on my space?

The last album you selected in Edit Mode becomes the default album. 

(Not very intuitive!)

 

Also: How to get to the next page of comments (if a post has a lot of comments).

There's a Next link at the top of the comments pane which will take you to the next page.

 

MSN Web Messenger


MSN Web Messenger lets you talk online and in real-time with friends and family using just a web browser! Use it on any shared computer - at school, at work, at a friend's house or anywhere you can't install the MSN Messenger software.

 


How do I access MSN Web Messenger from another computer?

In one of the web browsers listed above, enter http://webmessenger.msn.com/?mkt=en-au in the address bar. In Microsoft Internet Explorer, you can add this site to your favorites by pressing CTRL+D.

 

What is the difference between Web Messenger and Messenger?

MSN Messenger is a fully featured instant messaging program that you install on your own computer or one you have permission to install on. MSN Web Messenger enables you to quickly and easily use basic instant messaging features on a web browser on any computer without installing any software.

 

Note: MSN Web Messenger is the official way to communicate with your MSN Messenger contacts using a web browser.

How we got to Australia

My family and I came out to Australia from India as passengers on the cargo vessel Canara MV (3)

She initially carried 24 passengers which was reduced to 12 in 1947 (the year I was born) and to 9 later...not sure when. The Mackenzie clan made up nearly half the passenger list!
