I wish for those I love this New Year an opportunity to earn
sufficient, to have that which they need for their own and
to give that which they desire to others, to bring into the lives
of those about them some measure of joy, to know the satisfaction
of work well done, of recreation earned and therefore savored,
to end the year a little wiser, a little kinder and therefore
a little happier. Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962)

Editorial:

Happy New Year 2007, my valued Readers!

You now receive the last 2006 Pathway Issue, we are in 2007
tomorrow and I would like to thank you for your loyalty: I really,
really appreciate that you enjoy and support Pathway To Success
Ezine for such a long time and promise that in 2007 I will bring
you even more projects that will be of use, boost and profit
in your home based business.

I'm not a big friend of new year resolutions, I'm much more
in doing than promising, so what I recommend is a bit of new year
evaluation instead.

We live in fast, stressful times and what we do need from time
to time is stopping for a while and thinking about what we
experienced, achieved, what influenced or even changed us, to see
where we stand, where we want to go, what we want to keep and
remember, what we want to forget, what to continue and what to start.

New year is a great crossroads to make such an evaluation, so find
a couple of minutes and do exactly this to start the new year as
an even more success-focused person.

I firmly believe that your new year evaluations will only be positive
for you, your family and business and you will find lots of new
motivation for your activities in 2007, for which I wish you more
of what you wish for yourself and your closest.

I also remind you that tomorrow Big 2007 Contest Starts.
Join and Win! All for Free with Pathway To Success Ezine!

A Quiz: Test Your RSS Smarts
Sharon Housley

You think that you have mastered the art of RSS, but how much do
you really know? Take the RSS quiz to test your knowledge of RSS.

Question: If something is in an RSS feed, it is perfectly fine
to reproduce the contents of the feed. I mean after all RSS
means really simple syndication, right?

Answer: No, that is not true. Regardless of whether content is
in a feed or not, the original creator of the content has the
right to restrict its use. While most people do feel that if
content is in an RSS feed, it is available for syndication--that
is not always the case. Various groups have made efforts to add
namespaces which expand the tags used in RSS, to define whether
the content is available for syndication. The two most notable
namespaces that detail permissions are the Creative Commons
extension and the Bloglines' Access extension. These two
extensions are not yet widely supported so it is always best to
check the terms of service associated with the feed or website
to determine if the feed is available for syndication.

Question: RSS is only for blogs right? All blogs have RSS feeds
right?

Answer: No, and No! While blogs may have helped increase the
popularity of RSS feeds, RSS feeds are not specific to blogs.
RSS feeds can be used for any type of content not just blogs. In
fact, there are probably more RSS feeds available for non-blogs
than there are feeds for blogs. Publishers have used RSS feeds
for articles, press releases, discounts, podcasts, calendars,
alerts and the list goes on and on.

Question: When I add a new item to the feed, do I simply edit
the old .rss file or do I create a new one?

Answer: If you are adding content related to the theme of the
original RSS feed, you should always expand your existing RSS
feed rather than creating a new feed. Do not edit any of the RSS
feed's existing items, simply add a new item to the existing RSS
feed.

Question: Can RSS Feeds be set up for private list subscribers
and what kind of security is available for RSS feeds to support
a private feed?

Answer: Yes, while there are no provisions in the RSS 2.0
specification for passwords or protecting files, you can use any
security mechanism available on the http server to protect the
entire RSS feed. The security options are dependent on the
capabilities of your web server.

Question: What is a feed reader?

Answer: A feed reader can also be referred to a news aggregator.
RSS feed readers come in all shapes and sizes and are just tools
that make it easy for users to view the contents or headlines of
the RSS feeds they subscribe to. Feed readers can be desktop
applications, or web applications. Desktop readers are programs
that behave similar to an email client, you add new feeds and
when the RSS feeds you subscribe to are updated new items appear
in the RSS reader. The web aggregators are websites that
aggregate all of your favorite feeds, the web page dynamically
updates as new items are added to the feeds you subscribe to.
Many email applications now also include the ability to monitor
RSS feeds. As the popularity of RSS increases, the options to
read and monitor feeds is expanding.

Question: Can you block a search engine from accessing a feed?

Answer: You can use a robots.txt to indicate to search engines
that specific RSS feeds should not be indexed. Most search
engines will observe the contents of a properly formatted robots.
txt file.

Question: What is a GUID?

Answer: A GUID is a globally unique identifier. The RSS
specification strongly suggests that each RSS feed item have a
unique GUID. If you are creating feeds, a GUID is important
because GUIDs are often used by feed readers and aggregators to
determine if a feed item is new or simply an existing item that
has been updated. Each item in the RSS feed should have a
different GUID.

Today's Motivational Reading

A Resolution Method That Work
Nisandeh Neta

At the end of each year, it is traditional to make a New Year's
Resolution. With such "agreements", we commit ourselves to
resolving personal issues, yet more often than not, fail to keep
these commitments. The concept in itself is a good one: to make
an assessment of our lives, to contemplate what we wish to
modify during the following twelve months, and then making a
commitment to that change.

What therefore, can we do to enhance the probability of
successful attainment of our resolutions? Although it seems a
complex and mystifying issue, 'consciously creating' involves
simple tools and techniques that do not require your belief or
understanding in order for them to work for you.

The following are a few of the main points you need to remember
in order to manifest successfully, what your heart desires:

1. Commit your resolutions to paper. Contemplation, in itself is
not enough.

2. Keep your list short. A list of 10 resolutions is big enough
to create a 'critical mass' of energy through which to 'get your
message across' and is short enough to be remembered and therefore
practical.

3. Keep your resolutions simple, clear and detailed. Instead of
"I make a lot of money" use "I earn xxx during 2007"

4. Create a clear picture of your resolutions in present time as
if they were already realized. Involve all your senses in this
picture (see it, smell it, touch it,...) Bring to the picture
positive emotions such as excitement, joy and fun.

5. Repeat the thought and visualization process of your resolutions
twice a day. It takes about 20-25 minutes a day, and is worth
the investment of time.

6. Communicate your resolutions to others. In this way you strengthen
your commitment, creating for yourself a support group.

7. Make a step every day towards realizing your resolutions, no
matter how small. This step can even be of a mental nature.
However, a daily step towards each resolution is going to make
realization faster than you can imagine.

8. Acknowledge yourself for any step you complete on the way to
realizing your resolution.

9. When one of your resolutions is realized ensure that you
celebrate the personal success and treat yourself.

10. After realizing any of your resolutions, cross it off your
list and replace it with another. Maintain your list of 10
resolutions, throughout the year, thus keeping them alive.

REMEMBER: a fish is born to swim, a bird is born to fly and a
human being is born to create...
