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" />

How to use a TV as a second monitor

  Yes, I know TVs are plug-and-play, but you are not getting the best experience from it. First, open your Display Settings, and drag your TV to the proper place. And then, select your monitor, and then click on Advanced display settings. Now, click on XX.XXXX Hz (where X is the numbers). Now instead of that, you should choose the highest non-interlaced option. And on your TV, turn on Game Mode. Now, exit this menu, and click on XXX% (X is still the numbers). Now, click on all of them until you find the one you want. And then your mouse should work better, your second monitor should be faster, and your second monitor will look better! My TV is to the right of my laptop, it uses 60Hz, and I use 125%.

For example, Cellcom has yournumber@cellcom.quiktxt.com and U.S Cellular has yournumber@email.uscc.net! (These are carrier emails for TechyTommy Email VIP users.) To use all of these, format your phone number like this: 1234567890! These are called "SMS to email gateways"! But what if your carrier is not listed here? Thankfully, there is a website with 92 carriers in the United States! Just go to email2sms.info  if your carrier isn't in this article! But how does IFTTT work here? While, IFTTT can send emails from your Gmail account! Previously, I was talking about connecting Gmail to Google Calendar, Alexa to Blogger, and Google Calendar to Contacts! But now, we can connect any...
