Wanna know what's new on OHbaby! We now have RSS feeds! Subscribe to our RSS feeds and you'll be notified every time new content is added!
If you are using IE7, you can view the RSS feeds by clicking on the RSS button on your toolbar. If you aren't using IE7, go to www.ohbaby.co.nz/rss/ to view the RSS feeds. These are so cool! I didn't even know what an RSS feed was but now I'm hooked! -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

I have no idea what it actually is, all I know is that every time I (or Katherine, or Ang or Kelly) add new content to OHbaby! it updates the RSS feed so that page will always have the most up to date content on the site. So you can see when new products are added to the shop, new articles added to the site, new competitions added etc. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

| Toni, with that page you should get a pop up box that asks you if you want to subscribe to the feed. Once it has been accepted it should go away and you will get a list of the feed updates in your reader. |

| i subscribed and i'll give it a go...but isnt the purpose of the newletters to update us of new content.? or have i misunderstood? |

Yes and no -- we do feature new content in the monthly newsletters, but there is so much new content going up all the time that we can't possibly mention it all in the monthly newsletter, so we usually highlight a few new things there. RSS means "rich site summary", which probably means nothing to most people! It is a technology that allows you to keep informed, in a simple way, of what's new on the OHbaby! site. It doesn't work for the forums, since there are so many new posts happening here all the time, but it works for the regular site ( http://www.ohbaby.co.nz - www.ohbaby.co.nz ). If you're using IE7, look on your toolbar for an orange square button (it is at the top right, between the Home button and the Print button on my toolbar). If you click on that orange button, it will take you to a page called "OHbaby! Latest Articles", which has a page of the most recent additions to the site. Look out because heaps of new content will be uploaded to the site this weekend in time for our November newsletter! |

Wohoo! nice one! 
I religiously check my RSS stuff every morning. A lot of blogs and photo sites have them too. So it's a good way to quickly scan for any updates. Also worthy of a mention is the AirNZ Grab a Seat RSS feed

Any chance the titles in the RSS feed could be extended to categorise the article?
Mainly I want to read some articles but not book reviews which is what I think about 80% of them are. So would be nice at a glance to see what type of article it is. |

This is Chovynz signed in as busymum (I'm so lazy) 
For those of you using FireFox this is how you can subscribe to the RSS feed. (I'm so cool!) 
Copy and paste the link www.ohbaby.co.nz/rss into a new tab. The page should ask you if you want to "add a live bookmark". If it doesn't and you get a whole lot of gobbledygook, refresh the page then it will ask. Add the live link to where you want to. If THAT doesn't work you can always do the following once you see the gobbledygook. Bookmark the page. Click on Bookmarks at the top then "Bookmark this page" (or just Ctrl D). Hopefully you should now see a list of the RSS feeds. I'm such a geek.  ------------- |
