Whitelisting email addresses is the practice of flagging wanted email senders so that your mail program won’t mislabel the things you want to read as spam, essentially hiding it from you.

Since many of us use different email programs for reading our email, here’s the steps you’ll need for the most popular mail programs to whitelist your desired contacts.

For Yahoo! users -

1. Open your Yahoo mailbox and click on “Mail Options”.
2. Click “Filters”
3. Next, click “Add Filter”
4. In the top row, labeled “From Header:” make sure “contains” is selected.
5. Click in the text box next to that drop-down menu, and enter the address that you want to whitelist
6. Select “Inbox” from the menu near the bottom where it says “Move the message to:”
7. Click the “Add Filter” button again.

For AOL users -

1. Go to “Mail Controls” and select your screen name
2. Click “Customize Mail Controls For This Screen Name.”
3. Select “Allow e-mail from all AOL members, e-mail addresses and domains”.
4. Click “Next” until the Save button shows up at the bottom
5. Click “Save.”

For Hotmail.com users -

1. Click the “Options” tab
2. Under “Mail Handling” select “Safe List”
3. In the space provided enter the address that you want to whitelist
4. Click “Add”
5. When you see the address you entered in the Safe List box, click “OK.

For those of you using POP3 mail clients, like Thunderbird or Outlook, investigate the filtering options to whitelist email addresses.

Just click on a word in the tag cloud to browse through widgets in that category. You’ll find some fun widgets that would go well on a MySpace or iGoogle page.

Most of these widgets will appeal to users of personal pages, but most aren’t suited for more professional websites. A couple exceptions would be the countdown clocks and color picker widgets for those of us in marketing or design.

One neat twist is that you can make your own widgets. Take your Flash, HTML, JS or blog content and turn it into a widget that you can share with your whole community.

Browse the designs by validation level, images, css, color, contrast (dark on light or light on dark) and the number of columns.

Now, after you enter your feed and site URLs you should see your pages getting listed in search results in 24 hours or so.

If you’re a publisher, website owner, blogger, writer, musician, artist, business person, small business owner, student, preacher, politician - you get the idea! - if you are anybody who wants to get your message out there, help your site visitors by showing them where they need to click to get your feed. Post an RSS Feed icon in a prominent place. Get my feed.

The most recognizable icon for your site feed is the little orange square with three waves appearing to be broadcast from the lower-left corner of the icon. The white waves and broadcast point are on a bright orange background and the icon itself has slightly rounded corners.

Download feed icons and post at least one feed icon to your blog where your visitors will likely see it. If you’re interested in using some altered form of the standard lil’ orange icon, read the Feed Icon Usage Guidelines first.
