DanceWeb is now on Twitter!

Twitter is a "micro-blogging" service that lets you keep in touch through the exchange of quick, short messages - they are each limited to 140 characters! So if you would like to keep updated about all the new information being added to DanceWeb, but don't want to subscribe to any of the existing somewhat lengthy feeds and blogs, then following DanceWeb on Twitter is just what you need.

Every night, all the updates to dance classes, courses, events and services, along with updates to the community news, are condensed into individual "tweets" (Twitter messages), and posted to Twitter.

So by following DanceWeb on Twitter, you can easily keep updated without the information overload. The DanceWeb Twitter home page is:

http://twitter.com/DanceWeb.

Every entry contains a url (web address), that you can click to link directly to the full details on the DanceWeb site.

RSS Feed

If even the above is too much information, you can subscribe to the RSS feed of the same information.

New Feature: Add your own Dance News Items

DanceWeb now allows all registered users to very easily add their own News Items! The steps to add a basic news item are only slightly more complicated than posting an email; you just need a to provide a title, and paste in your news copy text. And for more advanced users, you can add dozens of other useful fields, including pre-defined and user-defined tags, as well as links to images, multi-media links and website links.

Once an item is posted, it will appear on several pages on the DanceWeb site, in an RSS feed, and also be posted in a nightly summary to the DanceWeb News Blog on Blogger. So your news item will be heavily publicised!

To start posting your own news items, read the Help page here:
News Submission Help Page

The summary of news headlines is displayed near the top right of the DanceWeb home page: DanceWeb Home Page

The current RSS Feed of News Items is here: RSS Feed

The Blog of News Items is here: Blog
