Writing Opportunities – Introducing Public Requests News Feed

One of the key features in constant-content.com is the request system.  Up to this point there has only been one means to see new requests.  As an author, you login and click on the "Requested Content" there you can see all the Public Requests as well as any requests that have been sent to you specifically.

We do offer a service to send you an email each time a new public request comes in.  And many of you have signed up for these emails.  This has worked pretty well, although there has occasionally been problems receiving these emails.

That said we wanted to roll out a new way to check up on the latest Public Requests. So, we've built a News feed that you can add to your News/RSS reader.  You can find the new URL at http://www.constant-content.com/feeds/publicRequests.xml

This news feed will update whenever a new public request is issued.

If you're new to News/RSS feeds I'll give you a short primer.

As with all News feeds you need a reader (or aggregator) to subscribe to the news feed. Many email applications come with feed readers built into them.  There are a number of web-based feed readers available. My Yahoo, Bloglines, and Google Reader are popular web-based feed readers.  If you prefer something that isn't web-based you can try Amphetadesk (Windows, Linux, Mac), FeedReader (Windows), and NewsGator (Windows - integrates with Outlook).

Once you've chosen a feed reader subscribe to the Public Requests Feed (http://www.constant-content.com/feeds/publicRequests.xml) and the most recent requests will be delivered to you as they are made available.
