Dear All
 
OBI (Oriental Bird Images - the image database of the Oriental Bird
Club) is steadily increasing its coverage of the birds of the Oriental
Region. We now have almost 12,000 images of nearly 2200 species. That's
about 80% of the region's birds. Most of South India's birds are
featured with good photos. New photos are uploaded almost daily; at
times more than 50 images may be added to the Database in one day.
 
To make it easier for birders to keep abreast of new contributions to
OBI, we have added an RSS feed to the website. If you are not familiar
with this technology, it's a way to help you keep up with all your
favourite websites by checking their RSS feeds and displaying the new
items/headlines from each of them. You click on the headline that
interests you and it takes you through to the full story, or in our case
to the full image. It's a technique increasingly used by the likes of
CNN, many newspapers and weblogs. You need either to install a piece of
software known as a feed reader (or news aggregator) or, in this case,
it might be better to sign up with one of the websites which provide
online feed reading facilities.
 
It is fairly easy to set up, just click on the RSS link on the OBI home
page at www.orientalbirdimages.org and select from a number of options
offered.
 
Grateful thanks to Tarique Sani  for implementing
the RSS feed on OBI.
 
Apologies for cross posting. Please pass this message on to any other
relevant mailing lists.
 
Happy birding and surfing.
