One of the features of a Blogging Website platform is it never forgets (unless of course an author forces forgetfulness). Every entry or article is saved in an archive. Here's an example:

On the CEO Blog (located here) there are two archives. Scroll down and on the left there is a segment called Monthly Archives. You can click on any month and see the articles written by Jeanette in the month in question. You can also click on Archives (if it is blue it is a link to another page). The Archives page will display a list of titles of everything Jeanette has written.

So, Looking for history? Check out the Archives. Or, simply use the search tool at the top of every page to find the information you are looking for.

Confused about RSS, ATOM, syndication, feeds and on and on?

One of the curious things about the comment form is a request for your Website URL. Providing it is completely optional. So, why even have it? Here's why:

1. It provides readers a link to you website (we hope you have one). The reader might even be a consumer which has the potential of being good for your business.
2. It becomes an outgoing link to you for search engines. The DAAR Website enjoys a relatively high Google rank and, when we link to you Google will add a bit of importance to your website for ranking purposes. Who would not want that? It gets even better when your Website is a Blog.

Conversely, do you have a link to DAAR from your Website or Blog? We are not talking "link farms" here. Search engines will tend to ignore those. What we do mean is a place on your Website (maybe a page) where you discuss the association you belong to and the benefits of membership with a link to DAAR. That link becomes more relevant BECAUSE it has context (the real estate related words and sentences around the link).

So, the next time you leave a comment, insert your URL into the space provided and click the "remember ..." box so it gets filled in automatically the next time you want to leave a comment.

IMPORTANT: The URL needs to be complete with the http:// so it might look like this using DAAR as an example:

If you use Internet Explorer upgrade to Version 7. Why?

• It is safer. Older versions of Internet Explorer were full of bugs and contained numerous security issues.
• It is more compatible with web standards. Microsoft is notorious for creating it's own proprietary standards that are not compatible with the rest of the world. IE 7 is the best effort to adhere to web standards. What this means to you is almost all websites will be presented to you correctly.
• Supports tabbed browsing.
• Supports RSS feeds.
  

Don't know what version you have? Click Help on the Menu Bar then select About Internet Explorer. If it is Version 6. or less, I highly recommend upgrading.

Upgrading is relatively easy. Just go to the IE7 Upgrade Page.

Is there an alternative to Microsoft Internet Explorer? Yes ...
Firefox is rapidly gaining ground on Microsoft as the browser of choice. Why?

• Firefox is faster. It is not bloated with unnecessary progreaming code.
• Firefox is safer. Although not perfect, Firefox has far fewer security issues. And, when they are found, they are fixed faster.
• Firefox was built supporting web standards.
• Firefox invented tabbed browsing.
• Firefox was among the first to support RSS feeds.

The best part? You can have Firefox on your PC right along side Internet Explorer.

To download and install Firefox, go to the Mozilla Website.
