Babies With Glasses - The site for families of babies, infants and kids with glasses

I just created a technorati link back to my blog. As part of the process to confirm that this is my blog, I had to create a post with a link to my Technorati Profile. If you would like to link technorati to your blog on this site use:

http://babieswithglasses.org/component/option,com_myblog/blogger,username 

as your link, replacing "username" with your username.

Hi everyone,

We recently added some new RSS feeds to the site. In case you don't know what RSS is, it stands for "Really Simple Syndication." Here's the Wikipedia Definition:

RSS is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated content such as blog entries, news headlines or podcasts. An RSS document, which is called a "feed," "web feed," or "channel," contains either a summary of content from an associated web site or the full text. RSS makes it possible for people to keep up with their favorite web sites in an automated manner that's easier than checking them manually.

I've added RSS links for each of the major news and article categories on the site. By clicking these links located both here, and in their representitive parts of the site, you can subscribe to feeds from the site. For example, if you want to always know what the latest blog entries are, you can subscribe to the RSS feed of "Latest Blog Entries." Clicking the link will take you to the RSS page for that category, where, using your browser, you can subscribe to the feed. Once subscribed, you will always have access to the latest blog posts. Different browsers and news readers present RSS feeds in different ways. Some scroll them along the bottom of your browser and others merely store them for when you want to access them later.

Here are the links to the RSS feeds we currently have up:

• Latest Content - This is the latest of everything on the site
• Frequently Asked Questions
• Latest Blogs - Latest Blogs of all users
• Latest News
• Latest Tips and Tricks
• Recent Articles

I hope everyone's enjoying the site's new look. I installed a new template today that provides a little more space for content and more customization options. Among these options are the ability to use custom typography, which does not seem to be working in all content right now. Here are some examples, if it's working they should appear different than the rest of the text:

This is alert text. It should appear as an amber box with an exclamation graphic with indented text

This is info text. It should appear as an light blue box with a letter I graphic with indented text

This is warning text. It should appear as an light red box with an warning triangle graphic with indented text

• List Item
• List Item

• List Item

This is dark alert text. It should appear as a red box with an exclamation graphic with indented text

This is dark info text. It should appear as an blue box with a letter I graphic with indented text

This is dark warning text. It should appear as a yellow box with an warning triangle graphic with indented text

This should again appear as normal text
