Printer Friendly Version | E-Mail This Tip
Q:
I've been using your new gadgets and checking out your new homepage
pretty much everyday and I was just wondering if you guys are working
on anything else. I love everything you put out, so I just wanted
to make sure I'm not missing anything. Thanks for all your help!
A:
Well, thank you very much for
asking! Over the past few weeks, we here at WorldStart have been telling
you about some new features we have put together for you. So far,
we have talked about our new WorldStart
Gadgets and our brand
new homepage. We have gotten so much positive feedback about these
new features, so thank you all for letting us know what you think!
Since we have
had such a great response from our new additions, we have decided
to add a few more! Today, I'm happy to tell you about our new browser
search option and our new feeds. These new features make it even easier
to have our computer knowledge right at your finger tips!
Browser
Search
Our new browser
search feature is something I am very excited about! As you may recall,
last week, we wrote about Internet Explorer 7's search tool (you can
read that article here).
It's the little box that sits in the top right hand corner of the
browser from which you can search. Here's what it looks like:
That little box
is a great tool to use for searching on all kinds of Web sites. You
can add as many search providers as you want by simply clicking on
the little arrow to the right of the box. So, now that I've explained
it, let me get to the point. You can now add WorldStart to your search
box. Yes! And here's how you do it:
First, to add
the search box for the first time, you need to go to our Web site:
http://www.worldstart.com.
Second, once you're
on our site, look at your search box. You should see that the little
arrow to the right of the box has turned orange. That means you have
a new search option available.
Third, click on
the arrow and go to Add Search Providers. Then click
on WorldStart Tips Search.
You will then
be asked if you're sure you want to add us. If you are, click on Add
Provider.
Now you can search
our archive of over 4,000 computer tips with the simple press of a
button. To use the search option, type in what you're looking for,
click on the arrow and choose WorldStart Tips Search.
You will then be given the search results from our Web site. Cool,
huh?!
Note:
For those of you who use Firefox, this feature works for you too!
The steps are exactly the same.
New Feeds
As I mentioned
above, our second new feature is more RSS feeds. I know many of you
out there already use our current computer tips feed. We have had
that feed running for some time now and because of its popularity,
we have decided to add a few more. If you take a look at our feeds
page, you will see that we have added three brand new feeds, along
with some other options. We now offer a feed for our Just for Grins
newsletter, our Life's Adventures newsletter and our Computer Tips
archive. Along with those new feeds, there are some new options on
our feeds Web page as well. You can now add our feed to several popular
news readers with one simple click or you can bookmark them in your
browser. For all the information you need, just visit this Web
page.
I hope you enjoy
all of our brand new features!
