Allowing Journal Subscriptions

What is it? | How Do I Get There? | Tips and How To's

What is it?

Anyone can subscribe to your Journal with your permission. These Subscriptions come in the form of either Email Notifications or RSS Feeds.

Email Notifications - Do you want friends, family and others to be notified whenever your Journal is updated? This is called Email Notifications. When you turn it on, any viewer or contributor to your Journal can request to be notified when your Journal is updated.

RSS Feeds - Known as either Real Simple Syndication (RSS) or Rich Site Summary, RSS is a relatively new and easy way to share content among different Web sites. Vibe Journal not only provides an RSS Feeds page, enabling your Journal to be updated with information from other Journals, Blogs and News Organizations; but your viewers can subscribe to your Journal via RSS Subscriptions and will be notified on their Journal, blog or website when your Journal content has changed.
