Creative Common Salon: Content Distribution for Nonprofits - Jun 14, 6-9pm

Okay, so the headline of this post isn't entirely accurate. The next Creative Commons Salon isn't going to be all about content distribution for nonprofits -- that's just a five minute talk I'm going to be giving (from the perspective of TechSoup's experiences adopting a Creative Commons licensing policy.) The rest of it will be about all sorts of other cool stuff, so you should show up. Here's the deal:

Thought you all might be interested to know that all Creative Commons content published on TechSoup and ConsultantCommons is being index by Google -- which means our nonprofit friends can easily search our sites for articles they can republish.

To use the search, start here: http://creativecommons.org/find/ Limit your search to a specific site by using the "site:techsoup.org" qualifier in your search query, like so:

site:techsoup.org blogging

site:techsoup.org interplast

site:techsoup.org security

You get back a list of articles relating to those topics, all of which nonprofits can reuse in their training materials, reprint on their Web sites, use in presentations, etc., etc. Have fun, do good!

Tips for adding RSS feeds on websites

I have looked at a bunch of nonprofit websites which currently use RSS feeds. Many of these sites do not have much explanation about the RSS feed.

For example, the link says subscribe to RSS feed. What is the content of the RSS feed?

It helps to let the readers and users of your website know what the RSS feed is about.

I have also noticed alot of websites include information about RSS. There is information about what it is and how to subscribe. This is a great thing to add since many readers and users are not familiar with RSS.

Do you already use services like del.icio.us, flickr, blogger, typepad, etc? SuprGlu is a new way to gather all your content from those sites.

I just learned about this website today. Content is divided up daily. I really like how you can add comments to bookmarks.
