More Information
auSoA is composed of two types of content: static and dynamic. Static content is the stuff that does not change much: things like the faculty list page, descriptions of the academic programs, and the history of the school. In the lingo of the site, these are called pages and are constructed by-and-large by using good-old html mark-up. Dynamic content on the other hand is represented by all of the stuff that gets updated constantly without too much intervention. Things like posts on the front page, the calender, and the running list of news items are all good examples of dynamic content. These items (again in the language of the site) are called posts. Posts, while they do require someone to write them, are fundamentally different from pages in that they are to some degree self organizing. In other words, when someone adds a news item, or writes an observation on the front page, all they do is flag their post with any number of categories and the website reorganizes itself with the newest content displayed and older content rolling off into the archives.

What this means is that because there is lots of new content generated on a regular basis, it is easy to miss something as it rolls into the archives. Rather than spend all of your time surfing from page-to-page lest you miss something important, you may choose to subscribe to the different dynamic parts of the site as you see fit. As one of the admins of the site, I have subscribed to the whole kit and caboodle, but you may only be interested in “lectures” for example, or just posts to the front page.

Subscribing to the various parts of the site is pretty easy, once you get the concept of what is going on. You may subscribe in two ways: Either by email (the old fashioned way) or by Subscribing to the various RSS feeds (the hip way). Follow the links below to learn more.
