Frequently Asked Questions

How do I subscribe to agwired?

First you need a news aggregator program. We recommend NewsGator but there are a lot of them – Search Here. With that program (many are free) you can use the site feed button () on the homepage to subscribe to our feeds. Or just enter our site feed URL (http://agwired.com/feed/) into the subscription box that most news aggregators offer.

This means that every time we post a new story you’ll be alerted to it with a short excerpt and a link to the new story! You don’t have to come back to our website just to see what’s new! The aggregator collects the new story announcements for you and you choose which ones you want to read. Here’s a good resource site on this subject.

How do I get your ZimmCast (our podcast)?

You’ll need podcast software, which is mostly free. We recommend iTunes but there are others. Install the software then use the ZimmCast podcast button ()on the homepage to subscribe to our podcast. Or just enter the ZimmCast URL (http://www.zimmcomm.biz/zimmcast.xml) into your podcast software subscription box.

It works like the site feed but you’ll be getting an audio file downloaded to your computer to use when you want to. Since you can tell the software which folder on your hard drive to download the audio file to, you can make it the one you sync into your portable digital audio player to take with you and listen to anywhere and anytime!

You can also listen to the current ZimmCast immediately by clicking on the button for the mp3 file version. When you click on it while you’re online your media player (we recommend Windows Media Player) should open automatically, download the file and allow you to listen to it and even save it!

If you miss a ZimmCast you can always go back and find it easily using the “archive” feature of the blog. Go to the “Archive” sidebar and look at the categories. We have one for “ZimmCast.” You can go there and see all the previous programs we’ve produced.

How do I find old stories?

Archives. It’s a great feature of the blog. Look in the “Archives” sidebar and you can click on any category or month to see all the posts.

Do you accept advertising or charge fees?

Yes. Please check our advertising page.

How do I respond to what you write?

It’s easy. That’s what blogging is all about. Use the “Comment” feature of the blog. You’ll find it at the bottom of every post. When you click on “comment,” it will bring up a form that allows you to write your own comment about what’s written. Others can see your comment and even comment on your comment!
