The Latest Hypnosis Articles...
What is RSS?
In a world heaving under the weight of millions of web pages, keeping up to date with the information you want can be a drag. Wouldn't it be better to have the latest news and features delivered directly to you, rather than clicking from site to site? Well now you can, thanks to a very clever service, RSS. Put plainly, it allows you to identify the content you like and have it delivered directly to you.
In general, the first thing you need is something called a news reader or aggregator. There are many different versions, some of which are accessed using a browser, and some of which are downloadable applications. All allow you to display and subscribe to the RSS feeds you want.
Once you have chosen a news reader, all you have to do is to decide what content you want. For example, if you would like notification of our latest Cultivate Life! newsletter articles (rather than reading them in the emailed version), you will see that infomation above. This is an "RSS feed." You will notice an orange RSS button above the titles. If you click on the button you can subscribe to the feed in various ways, including by dragging the URL of the RSS feed into your news reader or by copying and pasting the same URL into a new subscription in your news reader. When a new issue comes out, you then receive a list of articles in your news reader, and of course you can click on an article to read if you're interested.
Some browsers, including Firefox, Opera and Safari, have functionality which automatically picks up RSS feeds for you.
Podcasts...
Podcasts take their name from Apple's iPod portable music player, which many people have adapted to use as a player of spoken audio recordings in addition to music files. These audio podcasts are enclosed in an RSS feed (as described above) - so you subscribe to the feed and instead of text you get an audio file. There are several directories of podcasts online but since Apple came on board, the most popular is the iTunes Music Store - particularly because it makes it easy to preview Podcasts online, download and subscribe - and also easy for those with iPods to automatically sync their iPods with the latest podcasts they have subscribed to and downloaded.
 Cultivate Life! Podcast
Several articles each week from the Cultivate Life! magazine are included in our free weekly Podcast, in audio format downloadable to your computer. A "podcast" is an audio download that you can subscribe to, so you automatically get the latest issue.
You can download for free and listen on your iPod on the way to work, in the gym, etc. Or just listen from your computer, record it on cassette for the car, whatever suits you.
