Manual Testing VS Automated Testing

What is RSS Part I
What problem does RSS solve? Most people are interested in many websites whose content changes on an unpredictable schedule. Examples of such websites are news sites, community and religious organization information pages, product information pages, medical websites, and weblogs. Repeatedly checking each website to see if there is any new content can be very tedious. Email notification of changes was an early solution to this problem. Unfortunately, when you receive email notifications from multiple websites they are usually disorganized and can get overwhelming, and are often mistaken for spam.

robots.txt Rules
The “/robots.txt” file is a text file, with one or more records. Usually contains a single record looking like this: User-agent: * Disallow: /cgi-bin/ Disallow: /tmp/ Disallow: /~joe/ In this example, three directories are excluded. Note that you need a separate “Disallow” line for every URL prefix you want to exclude — you cannot say “Disallow: /cgi-bin/ /tmp/” on a single line. Also, you may not have blank lines in a record, as they are used to delimit multiple records.
