Media Button Available
 You can add Flash, Shockwave, Quicktime, Windows Media or Real Media to your web site (Flash video is recommended). There is a new media button available in the Universal Editor for OmniUpdate.
Here's how to use it:
- First the media files must be prepared and sized for the web.
- Flash movies should be published for the lowest flash player possible to ensure that the highest number of users can enjoy the media.
- Media files should be closed-captioned or provide a text link (to make the file accessible).
- Next, upload the file just as you would upload an image.
- In the OmniUpdate editor, click on the media button and select the file.
- The advanced tab in the media pop-up window allows you to set the properties of the media you are uploading.

RSS Feeds
If you regularly publish an HTML newsletter or information piece, you may want to make it an RSS Feed. RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication (among other definitions). An RSS document (called a feed) usually contains a summary of content from an associated web site. The user subscribes to the feed by clicking an RSS icon in a browser or using an XML link provided on a web site.
 If you are using Firefox web browser, you will see an RSS icon in the address area. Click on that icon to subscribe to the feed.
