Page
Update Notification
To save yourself hassles of always constantly checking to see if certain web pages have been amended with new information and/or articles the Page Update Notification program can alleviate those hassles.
The symbol 'Page
Update Notification' on a web page
indicates that page should be placed on your update notification as it is
a page that is altered often.
Methods
There are various types and methods of being notified when a page/URL has been updated. The choice will be yours.
One method is through an Internet service. However, through these services normally you have to register, leaving personal details and contact info that you do not want to divulge. Many of these Internet services are free, but most require your registration. Further, most of these sites use email notifications, which many find troublesome. One such site is ChangeDetect.com, http://www.changedetect.com/ .
Another
method is provided through this site as a program download. The program is
called Instant Update Notification and it leaves you in control. The
program is free, no registration is necessary, you control what pages to
monitor for changes and how to be notified. Although the VVi webmaster
will recommend and annotate specific site pages that are updated often
with '
Page
Update Notification' , you can
have any page on the Internet, including outside the VVi site, checked for
change notification.
