New DDN Tutorials on Blogging, RSS, Creative Commons and Online Communities
For those of you who are experimenting with our new Digital Divide Network website -- or are interested in checking it out -- I've written a series of tutorials on some of the exciting things you can do with the website.
How to Create a DDN Blog. Ever wanted to create your own blog? You can try out our free, noncommercial, easy-to-use blogging tool.How to Create Your Own DDN Community. DDN users can create their own online communities, featuring bulletin boards, document sharing, news and events listings, blog entries and RSS feeds.
What's RSS and Why Should I Care About it? RSS, or Really Simple Syndication, is a way of having new content from websites, blogs and newsletters come directly to you. If you're a blogger or a online publisher, RSS feeds make it a lot easier for your readers to keep up-to-date.
A Quick and Easy Guide to Creative Commons Licenses. DDN incorporates Creative Commons licenses, a powerful tool for assigning personalized copyright rules for your content.
All of the tools described in these tutorials are available to DDN members, and membership is free. Join today!
