Do you see a lot of these 
and still not know what they do? We have them all over Valor's site. They are links to an emerging tool that is changing the way we receive info from the web. They are called RSS (real simple syndication) feeds. They have been around for a couple of years now, but have just begin to take off in the mainstream with support for them in all the current or soon to be released browsers.
With RSS, you can subscribe to feeds by clicking the above icons on screens around the web and have an RSS Reader tell you when a feed has been updated. Keeping you from having to visit the website daily to see if there is anything new. One new reader that I use is Google Reader. This is a web based reader that allows you to see all your subscribed feeds on one page. In the image on the left, you can see my reader's front page. I can view the latest news from CNN, updates to Blogs I read, and more. They can be grouped into folders and read together as one feed. For instance, you could group all of your news resources into one folder called "News" and read all of them in order on one page instead of surfing from page to page.
So how does this apply to Valor's website? Glad you asked. We have feeds available for all of our product categories. We have feeds that list new items, clearance items and specials. So instead of waiting for me to send out the Specials Mailings, you can see the specials as they are added to our site. You can see clearance items as soon as they are put on clearance. You cna view new items as soon as they are received into our system. The image to the right shows our feed as it appears in Google Reader for Knife Specials.
So you can subscribe to these feeds by clicking the 
icons anywhere you see them, or you can view a list of Valor's RSS feeds here.
