Where to start…

If you and your hunting business are new to the Web, it’s good to catch up on a few important terms that will point you in the right direction.

Here are 7 Web terms and definitions that will give you some simple direction to ease you into the Web world before you start creating that amazing site for your hunting business.

1. RSS

Really Simple Syndication.

The link (see #2) will take you to the definition and description.

I use RSS every morning (see #4) to keep track of feeds I find important for my job, my self-education, or feeds that are simply fun and entertaining (we all need a good laugh).

I also use sites like Alltop frequently. (Hunting.Alltop.com is really great resource for hunting related feeds).

Basically, RSS is a great way to keep track of everything (that has a feed) on the Web.

2. Link

A hyperlink is text (or image) on a Webpage that’s (usually) blue and underlined.

Links are the connections on the Web. Links are found everywhere.

Linking is the way Web users point others to information they find valuable and worthy of sharing.

Website owners use links to connect and reference information they have found around the Web. You see the links in this post, on the right column, and in most other places on this blog.

New Web users can use links in forums, blog comments, etc. to point users to useful information. As long as you use links properly, it’s a great way to share information.

Hunting Website owners can use links in blogs and forums as well. Signatures and forms allow you to enter links to sites, usually your own.

3. BlogRoll (Blogs I Read)

See the right column on this blog for an example of a blogroll.

I enjoy reading blogs and recommend reading blogs to new Web users.

I’m always looking for new blogs to read. There are so many great people out there with so many great ideas and knowledge.

A great way to find new blogs is to look at the blogs other bloggers are suggesting.

The links to the blogs in the right column on this page are the blogs I truly read almost daily.

I find them valuable and hope you take the time to discover them.

Use blog rolls as a way to expand your knowledge by discovering other great blogs.

4. Google

I’m not talking about just the search feature (although it’s the best on the Web). Google has all of the best tools for Web users and Website owners.

iGoogle is exceptional.

Explore all that Google has to offer and you’ll be well ahead of the curve when it comes to using the Web.
