All About FeedBurner, FeedBurner Email, and RSS

Now, if you have read lots of blogs, you probably saw this icon at least once.








And if you click that icon, you might have seen a website that starts with feedburner.com. First, that icon is for RSS. RSS is a format that contains all the posts from that blog. This is a snippet what my blog in RSS looks like.

Like your smart home to your email to get an email when it is turned on and off! So, before you build a new app, there is already&amp;nbsp;an app for what you want to do. That app is called IFTTT! So, to get started, go to IFTTT and create an account. And then, create a new applet! Now, select what you want to trigger your applet. You could use an Alexa command, sending an email, or even creating a new Google Contact! Now, you need to choose what happens. You could send a notification to your iPad or Fire Tablet, create a new Google Contact, or even create a Google Calendar event! This is the example I will do.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTHL3W1g9HKejhnA9DrjeAGN29mJqzpi_IT_jhX_h_RchdrVbDIRI3TsqzmvRs0U7L2L7DvA5XaFehYhhoNZiF6AG0HRiT1odkenOFmDpgUe-JfKXhhQTj783JQwPs1KDmB5PrSBz4xeXz/s1063/Screenshot+2021-07-06+064345.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img alt="A screenshot of IFTTT showing if you say a specific phrase to your Alexa, create a new Google Contact." border="0" data-original-height="681" data-original-width="1063" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTHL3W1g9HKejhnA9DrjeAGN29mJqzpi_IT_jhX_h_RchdrVbDIRI3TsqzmvRs0U7L2L7DvA5XaFehYhhoNZiF6AG0HRiT1odkenOFmDpgUe-JfKXhhQTj783JQwPs1KDmB5PrSBz4xeXz/w400-h256/Screenshot+2021-07-06+064345.png" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Now, before you can use some services (like Alexa and Contacts), you need to link your account. Just log in and allow IFTTT to access your account! After you are done choosing your options, click on Continue. You can receive notifications when it runs. After that, click on Finish. Your applet is now ready! Now, there are 2 kinds of applets you can use. The kind of applet depends on the service. Now, to see this, go to the applet's page, and scroll down. This is what a Realtime applet looks like.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6tiZqyFvV7Q1cAo4O_1xSIv22KXCViTSUmHJrg4FyqpxsYy_xjl9SLP3apXmBFjxExfCHcUNgyd1a3O_f549aWkL4xN0hHg2GAz2FCthXnr-s8VgUEJOZDsR5g6xT_y7GheAAVgHYCfbW/s649/Screenshot+2021-07-06+065026.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" data-original-height="79" data-original-width="649" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6tiZqyFvV7Q1cAo4O_1xSIv22KXCViTSUmHJrg4FyqpxsYy_xjl9SLP3apXmBFjxExfCHcUNgyd1a3O_f549aWkL4xN0hHg2GAz2FCthXnr-s8VgUEJOZDsR5g6xT_y7GheAAVgHYCfbW/s320/Screenshot+2021-07-06+065026.png" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is what a polling applet looks like.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPb4S7FjyilhLSI0iIoMcShJHoIQyZvt_8K70sd0MYhuCdeOCS3uWlIOt9GSKw3b-q5Fad8FaCWZy_GEW_dJXv8dZhpqaSQJu25GodtEjB4g6jM9Y35dDTHtKPQEkUysvEXGVXauCvMqNX/s652/Screenshot+2021-07-06+065155.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" data-original-height="79" data-original-width="652" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPb4S7FjyilhLSI0iIoMcShJHoIQyZvt_8K70sd0MYhuCdeOCS3uWlIOt9GSKw3b-q5Fad8FaCWZy_GEW_dJXv8dZhpqaSQJu25GodtEjB4g6jM9Y35dDTHtKPQEkUysvEXGVXauCvMqNX/s320/Screenshot+2021-07-06+065155.png" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, to check if your favorite services are on IFTTT, go to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://ifttt.com/services"&gt;https://ifttt.com/services&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;There is IFTTT Pro, which you should get if you want more than 3 applets.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/techytommy/~4/YQ3fBiF4uLU" height="1" width="1" alt=""/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="https://techytommy3.blogspot.com/feeds/7479948654457705158/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://techytommy3.blogspot.com/2021/07/ifttt-connect-gmail-to-google-calendar.html#comment-form" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="https://www.blogger.com/feeds/7878542713109000453/posts/default/7479948654457705158" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="https://www.blogger.com/feeds/7878542713109000453/posts/default/7479948654457705158" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/techytommy/~3/YQ3fBiF4uLU/ifttt-connect-gmail-to-google-calendar.html" title="IFTTT: Connect Gmail to Google Calendar, Alexa to Blogger, and even Google Calendar to Contacts!" /><author><name>TechyTommy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05811847061193520044</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="32" height="32" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDUpT3rmtwJS-SqfmH3BG1MxyjuUzxITQnEhvXDlONK6pxmlvFGmIWhA9GI1Rdis-jRFc_1K3Rra9C0joPCMb-k11IxIX-wUb-YsvRJLYIVWuqd66pcjO-NJAwY3x5bEw8W_lX7znO5Icm/s220/T+is+for+Tommy.jpg" />

What is the Wayback Machine?

Have you ever seen this on your computer? That is the Wayback Machine! Here's a example of using it: Your teacher asks you to get the oldest version of the PBS Kids website. But you don't know how! So, you type in https://pbskids.org into the first text box, go to it from October 13, 1999, and there! Slideshow below: (P.S. I can't get to it from then) Now, where is the Wayback Machine? It's at web.archive.org !

My New Computer (Acer Spin 3)

  So recently I got a new computer. So what are the differences? While, this laptop is a Windows laptop, which is new for me. This computer is an Acer Spin convertible, specifically an Acer Spin 3. One thing that this laptop has compared to my previous Chromebooks is that it has a Caps Lock key. So what is in this laptop? This has an Intel Iris Plus graphics card paired with an Intel Core i5 10th Gen processor, along with 8 gigabytes of RAM (memory) and 512 gigabytes of storage. WAY more than I need. So should you get it? Yes. Now, when should you get it? Your choice. You can get it now, or get it when it is not an outside vendor. And I forgot to say, it comes with a stylus.
