A quick release to tackle a few bug fixes. A few features were also added. The two major features added were first RSS feeds for blogs. All blogs now display an RSS link (like the one you see on this page). The RSS link can be used with RSS readers (such as
Google Reader) and will notify readers of new blog entries when they are published as public. Also, you can now specify a background color to the article list column on
Blog pages. As for bug fixes, we upgraded the text editor used with Mnet and it seems that it broke the spellcheck feature that Firefox uses. So we've enabled that again and now Firefox will once again underline misspelled words.
What is RSS?
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. It is basically a term used to mean that a website or blog will notify you when new information is ready instead of you having to go back and check for new stuff all the time. RSS is used with an RSS Reader (such as
Google Reader); people subscribe to your RSS feed using their reader and then they will be notified when you publish a new article. These reader programs or services basically do the checking for you. They periodically check to see if there is new information periodically (the timeframe is typically based on when the publisher indicates that they usually put out new content). So RSS is really great for keeping in touch with all the news sites that you love. It's also a great way to get people to come to your website because you could use RSS to announce a new product or service that is available.
