This is not a good way to use a discussion group.
I suggested you join because a lot of questions and answers relevant to
nuances how to work Manila features, often by people involved in education,
but not all of the features and capabilities of the Virtual World will be
relevant to you, also when you join, there may be discussions in progress,
in which you would need to check the archives to pick up on the traffic
before you joined ... in fact there is an art form in figuring out how to
use search engines (not neccessarily the one supplied with the site) to
navigate past posts on topics of interest to you. There are many
discussions not relevant to my interests, or my understandings. I try to
avoid chiming into those.
The thread in question in perspective ... you may have visited some
personal web sites in which the senior editor has added a chart or list of
the major news of the day, according to CNN, New York Times, or whatever
major news source appeals to that person. It appears to be continuously
updated. Does the senior editor have to scramble like a journalist to keep
the site up to date? No, you can get something added to your web site, if
you are versatile with the underlying programming (which neither of us are,
but JT can do), that in essence adds to our web site home page whatever is
coming from a news feed of our choice, like a wire service (UPI AP Reuters
etc.) for web sites. There are several such services available, and the
discussion thread was how to integrate one with a Manila site.
Even if we were versatile with the underlying programming, this might not
be an option for your site thanks to the deletion of stuff you thought you
did not need, before you understood all the implications.
I use news service to web world a bit differently, perhaps because of
options available to Radio. I am not interested in the latest headlines
overall. I am interested in what's big news in the world of
e-computing. The owners of UNIX rights are suing IBM $ 1 billion because
they think IBM leaked info about UNIX to the LINUX OS world. USA Baby
Bells are suing US FCC because they want more monopolistic rights and think
that in a climate of US Justice in the pocket of Microsoft this might be
good timing. If you interested in discussing latest hot news, this
discussion group not the place to do that ... e-mail me directly.
