Add an RSS Feed to Your Web Browser

Tonight I told you all that I would post instructions on how to add the Draper Youth Council Blog as an RSS Feed to your web browser. An RSS Feed is used to publish frequently updated works—such as blog entries, news headlines, audio, and video. Here's how it works:

1. Go to the Draper Youth Council blog. For this example I'm using Firefox as my browser. Firefox and Explorer are the most common browsers, but the RSS feed works the same in both browsers. Up at the top of your browser there will be an orange icon that looks like this:

2. Find the icon and click on it. In Firefox the icon is in the URL bar:

3. When I click on that icon two options pop up. One says, "Subscribe to Draper Youth Council Rss Feed." Click on that option. When you choose that option this screen comes up:

4. Don't change anything, just click on the SUBSCRIBE NOW button. A little pop-up window will open. There are two options there. One option is to add the feed to your bookmarks (or favorites) menu. The other option is to add the icon to your bookmark toolbar. Either option is fine. If you add it to your menu, you will access the RSS feed through your bookmarks drop down. If you add it to your toolbar, it will show up in your toolbar at the top of your browser. My preference is to add them to my browser toolbar.


5. Choose your option and click on the Add button. If you added the RSS feed to your toolbar, no matter what web site you are on, you will always see your RSS feed at the top of your browser. If you click on the icon it will give you a drop down list of the 25 most recent entries to the blog with the most recent at the top. This makes it easy and reminds you to check for new entries to the blog. You can click on the entries in that drop down list and it will take you directly to that entry in the blog. Easy ... peasy!

Food Handler's Permits

Hi everyone! I'm the new Food Safety Coordinator for DYC this year which means i get to make sure all of you have your food handler's permits by this thursday :)

For those of you (probably most of you) who don't have one yet here's what you do:

2. Click on Utah on the giant map of the U.S.
3. click on Salt Lake County and then Draper Youth Council
4. follow the directions on that page :)

The course is 10 dollars and you don't have to do it all in one sitting, you can log on and off whenever you choose. The whole course should take you about an hour and a half. Don't worry about getting me a copy or anything, I just check online to see if you've passed the test.

For everybody else who already has a food handler's permit, I need a copy of it by next thursday. If you want you can scan it and email it to me at glinda19pete@gmail.com, or give a copy to Clark Morley this tuesday since i won't be able to be there.

Thank y'all so much :) and if you have any questions about anything go ahead and email me or call my cell phone.
