1. What is a blog?

Insofar as you are concerned, an article (or "post" or "entry" as they might be called in a blog) on the iProceed blog is no different than the articles that you will find on our main website. We have embraced blogs as these are fast becoming the preferred mode of communicating with our readers, in a world where emails/newsletters are a complete No-No.

2. How do I benefit from reading the blog in a newsreader?

If you have already read our privacy policy, you probably know that we do not have a mailing list nor do we ever write to you telling you about what is going on our websites. By reading our blog through a newsreader like My Yahoo or other similar services you can simply see (the way you see news headlines in Yahoo) in your My Yahoo page if there is an article of interest on iProceed. You can then click to read the article, if you wish. We will never know if you are even a subscriber; so your privacy is always protected.  This is how iProceed blog will appear in your My Yahoo page:

If you don't currently have a My Yahoo! account, you can sign up here. Just choose where to display the module on your page and you will then be able to see iProceed blog posts right in your personal My Yahoo page in just a few simple clicks. 


4. What are the benefits of using My Yahoo! as my newsreader? 

In addition to the benefits of being able to read iProceed blogs you can read other blogs and websites that support this format (called RSS).  As you become more comfortable with it, you will be amazed by the degree of customization you will be able to achieve in determining what you read.  You will never need to sign up for another newsletter and give away your email address.

5. What if I do not want to use My Yahoo!?

If you are a savvy user, you probably will not be on this page. There are other alternative readers that you can use. Most of them are also free.  

6. Where can I get more help?

Yahoo has an excellent help page. If you still have difficulty, please do not hesitate to contact us and we will be glad to help.

7.  How do I unsubscribe?

It is easy.  Just delete by clicking the X on your My Yahoo page (see the image above and look at the top right corner).
