Cofactors Blog

Pronounciation: "KO-FAK-TRS"

Welcome to CoFactors, the research + development crucible for Catalyst Group. Here, we expand and codify our observations and experience independent of clientdriven situations. Our position as consultants gives us an exceptionally broad view of the Web and interface design issues + culture. Feel free to link to our blog, send feedback, download white papers or even to read about developments in our own business.

RSS-Syndication Help

We were new to blogging too - so don’t worry if all this seems a little complicated. Once you get some basic terms down, it becomes much simpler. In fact, of late, it’s getting increasingly easy to subscribe to a blog, while still being free.

By “subscribe,” we mean: use something called RSS (really simple syndication) to feed our content as it is posted in real time to your computer. Basically, RSS is a mechanism allowing you to know when we’ve written something new without having to constantly return to our site to check. Below are some helpful links explaining a bit more about the process and the technology:

- A good, short, plainly written overview of how to use a My Yahoo! page to aggregate RSS feeds.

- A more thorough tutorial on RSS in general, as well as on using other applications besides Yahoo’s to syndicate blog feeds.

If this doesn’t do it, or you feel there’s some problem with our site, by all means contact us or shoot an email directly to theteam@catalystnyc.com.
