Dear all,

I hope you enjoyed the bank holiday weekend, and for the last bank holiday of the year you did something good ‘n’ fun.

As I said in my message on Friday, I would be announcing some key dates in relation to a disruption of service, so please make a note of them:- (more…)

Over the past few days and weeks, change has been afoot around these parts! Some practical upgrades, new features and new looks have been added.

Where to begin? (more…)

Version 9 of Adobe’s Acrobat Reader has been released into the wild. Plenty of websites and small business use the software to reader, share documents with other users, or in thetechangel.com’s case – send out invoices. This version (v9) is the first reader application to allow document creators to bake movies and animation into the PDF format (Portable Document Format). (more…)

Okay, I know full well that it’s now June 2008! But, I have been wanted to do this for ages. And I know that I said more fresh articles were on their way – but so what! It’s my blog!

The usual warning is carried with all my postings on the Blogberry, particularly those (lazy readers) who may have missed out over time  – you may learn something! (more…)

Some very good news this morning for Freeview users, who have a Humax PVR Freeview decoder. A software update is available this week*, that contains lots of essential updates, but one key, new feature – series links.

It’s been a couple of years since I last did this, but it’s back – my tech predictions for 2008. 10 things which are most likely to happen in the next 12 months. By the way, this will hopefully be the last post I do for 2007.

Please do keep in mind, that I did write these back in November 2007 and that one or two have already started to come true. But I wasn’t to know.

So here goes:- (more…)

It’s that time of the month again, Patch Batch Tuesday for Windows users. Microsoft has also pointed out that 3 of the patches for you are critical, so make sure you do those updates (if you haven’t already been requested to). (more…)

ADSL Asynchronous Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) is a technology that provides high-speed Internet access (also known as ‘broadband’) over an ordinary telephone line. This  technology  can  allow  you  to still make ordinary voice calls over the telephone line, while you are connected to the Internet.

As I mentioned here almost to the day a year ago, it’s bugs and flu season. (more…)

What is an RSS feed?

Feeds, also known as RSS feeds, XML feeds, syndicated content, or web feeds, contain frequently updated content published by a website. They are usually used for news and blog websites, but are also used for distributing other types of digital content, including pictures, audio or video. The acronym RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication, and is used to describe the technology used in creating feeds.

Does an RSS feed subscription cost any money?

No, it’s usually free to subscribe to a feed, and no personal data is exchanged. The Blogberry from thetechangel.com is free for all to read, so no money required. Only a little bit of time spent reading a few times a week.

Subscribing to the Blogberry RSS feed in Internet Explorer:

1. Go to any page on the Blogberry, including this one.
2. Click the Feeds button in the top right of Internet Explorer to discover feeds on the webpage.
   • 
3. Click a feed (if more than one is available). If only one feed is available, you will go directly to that page.
4. Click the Subscribe to this Feed button , and then click Subscribe to this Feed.
   • 
5. Type a name for the feed and select the folder to create the feed in.
6. Click Subscribe and you’re done!

How can I view my subscribed feeds for updates?

You view feeds on the Feeds tab in the Favourites Centre. To view your feeds:-

1. click the Favourites Centre button
   • 
2. and then click Feeds.
   • 

That’s it!
