RSS means (Really Simple Syndication. It's a standard code format for feeding various news reader applications (including web browsers) with news allows importing summaries and corresponding links to news articles. For example, do a Google news search at [httphttps://news.google.com http://news.google.comsearch] for any given keyword or phrasecan be imported. Thereafter scroll HOwever, Google does not include RSS feed URLs directly on their search result pages but it's not complicated to piece together the bottom of relevant feed URLs. For example, a search for the phrase "madagascar lemurs" can be included on a page and find the RSS symbol [[Fileas follows:RSS_icon.png|14px]]. Follow the link to the URL of the raw RSS feed.

The web browser may automatically display the news items of the raw RSS <pre><rss template="Google-feed in a tidy HTML format as well as offer to add the newsfeed to a browser's [http" filterout="movie penguins">https://wwwnews.mozillagoogle.com/news?pz=1&cf=all&ned=us&hl=en-US/firefox&q=%22madagascar+lemurs%22&cf=all&output=rss</livebookmarks.html Live Bookmarks] and various social bookmarking applications, such as Google Reader, My Yahoo, Bloglines etc. Alternatively, the browser may display the raw RSS feed in XML source code. Either way, copy the location of the page (URL) and place it within the &lt;rss>...&lt;</rsspre> tags, like the following example:

<pre><rss>http://The output of this news.google.com/news?pz=1&cf=all&ned=us&hl=en&q=%22madagascar+search for the phrase ''madagascar lemurs%22&cf=all&output=rss|short|date|max=20</rss></pre>'', filtering out results with the terms ''penguins'' and ''movie'', becomes:

The output of this, which is a <rss template="Google-feed" filterout="movie penguins deprecated">https://news.google.com/news search for the phrase ''madagascar ?pz=1&cf=all&ned=us&hl=en&q=%22madagascar+lemurs'', becomes:%22&cf=all&output=rss</rss>

<rss>httpOther non-Google RSS feeds may include a feed icon [[File://newsRSS_icon.googlepng|14px]] to indicate the whereabouts of RSS feeds.com/news?pz=1&cf=all&ned=us&hl=en&q=%22madagascar+lemurs%22&cf=all&output=rss|short|date|max=20</rss>

'''Note:''' Not only [http://news.google.com Google News] offer RSS feeds but many major as well as niche portals do. Wherever you see the familiar RSS button, it should be for a compatible news feed that can be displayed on any page as described above.

== Recommended image Image size ==

A good recommended image size for this site is minumim 1500 pixels height or width.  Many digital cameras produce images which often have an aspect ratio of with a 4:3. All modern cameras produce images aspect ratio and which are usually larger than 1500 pixels in width or height. If resizing  Images which has a larger 4:3 aspect ratio will automatically fit into the [[#Image_gallery|standard image which has an gallery]]. When scaling a 4:3 aspect ratio image from some larger size down to 1500 pixels width, it becomes 1125 pixels in height. Or in In case of a taller than wide image (, i.e. in portrait format) the resulting image size will be , it becomes 1125 width and 1500 pixels in height.  Example of an 4:3 aspect ratio, 1500 pixels wide and 1125 pixels tall image: [[media:Diego_Suarez_150.jpg|Diego_Suarez_150.jpg]]. However, different many cameras product output different aspect ratios and image sizes that are usually much larger than 1500x1125 pixelssize settings. Depending on your internet connection speed, size and number of images, you may prefer to scale your images down before uploading them onto this site.  A good free graphics application to scale images down with is [http://www.gimp.org The Gimp] It is free . <!--Alternatively, try the Pixlr online photo editor at http://pixlr.com/editor/--> Or to download and install on all operating systems. To avoid using a graphic applicationaltogether, uploading just upload your images in their original size sizes and dimensions as they come straight from the camera is fine too, but depending on your internet connection speed and the size and number of images, the transfer may take a long time.

== Uploading videos MadaCamp == To upload a video on MadaCamp, firstly make the video available in three formats: .mp4, .ogg and .webm. This can easily be done via an online video conversion tool such as [https://cloudconvert.com cloudconvert.com]. Thereafter save the three versions on your system before uploading them with identical fileames but with the different file extensions, e.g.:  Dragonfile.mp4 Dragonfile.ogg Dragonfile.webm Thereafter include the video on the page without the file suffix:   <nowiki><HTML5video width="520" height="320" autoplay="true" loop="true">Dragonfly</HTML5video></nowiki> Different browsers will automatically select the suitable format for their individual systems. <googlevideoHTML5video width="520" height="320" autoplay="true" loop="true">7281432690466273651Dragonfly</googlevideoHTML5video> <!--Bug: Thumbs does not show up on Ipad, which affects autoplay="false" mode. https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?oldid=2285855 -->

To prevent this mostly irrelevant information from being displayed along with your video, you can upload your video also be uploaded directly on MadaCamp, after first having converted it into FLV format. If your video has been shot with a digital camera, it is likely Your original may be an Mpeg, AVI, Quicktime or some other format. The conversion into FLV format can then be done using an advanced a video editor such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avidemux Avidemux], which is available for free download on all operating systems:

For Windows users, a nice and simple FLV conversion tool is [http://www.miksoft.net/mobileMediaConverter.htm Mobile Media Converter].
