VolunteerHawaii site adds RSS feeds
Aloha United Way’s VolunteerHawaii web site now has RSS capabilities. RSS stands for "Real Simple Syndication," which allows subscribers to see some website contents without having to go to the website. This allows users to stay in touch, receiving updates while doing less work. Volunteer Hawaii now has RSS feeds on pages which change frequently. Nonprofits can use the RSS feed to see what has changed recently, for example:
- New volunteer opportunities as they are added
- New events added to the events calendar
- Volunteer and agency news and spotlights
This is accomplished by using an RSS reader, which can be set up in two steps:
1. Download and install a free RSS reader. Here are links to three:
- Open a free Google account and choose the “reader” when offered services.
- Download and install the Awasu Reader
- Download and install Sage for Firefox if you use the Firefox browser
2. Click on the RSS icon, which appears at the top left of this page, on these VolunteerHawaii web pages:
- Volunteer opportunities
- Events calendar
- Volunteer and agency news and spotlights
