General
Questions:
|
|
|
How
often is the content updated? |
|
|
We add new articles to the site
every business day. The number of articles varies day to day. Each article has a maximum
life of approximately 4 months; some articles are posted for significantly less time
due to time-sensitive content.
|
|
|
Can
I submit an article? |
|
|
At this time we are not accepting
free article submissions from outside sources.
|
|
|
Your
content seems to target a U.S. audience; can I use it for my international site? |
|
|
We are a U.S. company and our articles
are geared towards a U.S. audience; thus, the articles occasionally include U.S. references.
However, the majority of our content is broad enough that it is appropriate for most
English-speaking sites. In fact, our content is currently posted on many sites in
the U.K., Canada, and Australia.
|
|
|
Why
don't you have the specific category I'm looking for? |
|
|
We created our categories to cover
a general array of topics. In the future we plan to add more categories. We appreciate
your suggestions.
Technical
Questions:
|
|
|
I
signed up for an account. Why won't it let me login? |
|
|
Our site was designed to work best
with Internet Explorer. If you select "Sign me in Automatically" when logging
on to our site be sure your browser accepts cookies. Also check your Browser's security
settings and look to see if there is any third party software on your system blocking

Tab. Next select the "Trusted Sites" icon, then click the "Sites" button. Enter "http://www.contentinfusion.com"
under web site zones and click "Add". Make sure "Require server verification" is unchecked

|
|
How
do I use the XML code? |
|
|
XML is the Extensible Markup Language.
XML is meant to be used by professionals who are familiar with implementing this code
to the specific settings/configuration of their Web site(s). If you are unfamiliar
with XML or RSS feeds, we suggest using either the JavaScript or HTML code options.
|
|
|
Where
do I place the JavaScript code? |
|
|
The JavaScript functions as an
include. Simply copy the generated code and insert it into the body of your webpage.
For example:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
Insert generated
JavaScript code here
</body>
</html>
|
|
|
How
do I use the HTML code? |
|
|
The HTML functions as a link (URL)
target. Simply copy the code then create a link in the body of your web page and insert
the code into the link tag.
For example:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<a href="insert
generated HTML code here">My
Link</a>
</body>
</html>
|
|
|
Can
I get the article (not just the category) displayed on my site? |
|
|
The category is displayed on your
site by the Java Script code, but once you click on the article it will open in a
page outside of your template. You can have the article content open inside your site
using ASP, PHP or ColdFusion. If you are an ASP developer, PHP developer or ColdFusion
developer you will need to utilize the URL String option located in the customization
tools.
