P.S. Story - RSS Feeds and the new Java Cafe Blog....

There are lots of new technologies out there, and more arriving daily. At The Java cafe, we have started to provide RSS feeds and blogs to provide updates to people who prefer these to a newsletter. While these technologies provide real-time updates, we will also be providing exclusives and special deals via our newsletter.

The Java Cafe Blog is a update page that you can visit to see what the latest updates have been. No need to search the site looking for anything new.

RSS feeds are a little different. You register your interest in receiving updates in your RSS reader (software that sits on your computer). When you tell it to, the reader runs off and gets updates from the sites you have registered. We can't access your computer with this communication, you control it. You can register with any site that has the little orange RSS or XML buttons. Find out more at our RSS help page.

P.P.S. If you have a topic you want more information on, tell us about it.
