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.

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>
