DDN users can create their own online communities, featuring bulletin

RSS, or Really Simple Syndication, is a way of having new content from
websites, blogs and newsletters come directly to you. If you're a
blogger or a online publisher, RSS feeds make it a lot easier for your
readers to keep up-to-date.


A Quick and Easy Guide to Creative Commons Licenses:

DDN incorporates Creative Commons licenses, a powerful tool for
assigning personalized copyright rules for your content.
