Now you can stay current with developments at DAI by means of RSS feeds from the company website, www.dai.com. These “really simple syndication” feeds cover three categories of site content: news items, success stories, and projects.

The feeds can be used in various ways. Some web browsers, including certain mobile phones, will allow you to monitor the feeds—every time an item is added in one of the three categories, the feed will update in your browser. In addition, services such as Google Reader allow you to monitor our feeds alongside those from other sources.

To subscribe to a feed, first click on the green RSS icon. The news and success stories icons are both on the splash page of dai.com; to subscribe to the projects feed, go to “Our Work,” then “Projects.” Click on “Subscribe to this feed.” Also on this page is a “Learn more about feeds” link—an extensive online explanation of feeds and how to use them.

To see your feeds using a standard Microsoft Internet Explorer browser, click on the gold star in the top left corner of the screen. You’ll see that you can view the feed by date, title, and perhaps author; we recommend using the date, with the most recent entry first. You’ll also notice a link to “View feed properties”—this opens a dialogue box which links in turn to the “About feeds” information noted above.

A wealth of helpful information on RSS is available on the web. Here are just three useful resources:
