What is a "Captcha code" and why do I need to enter one?

On the "Contact Us" and "Register" pages we ask you to type in the letters in the displayed picture before you send us your details. This is known as a "Captcha code". By entering the letters you see in the picture, you are helping us confirm that a person, rather than an automated program, is trying to access the site. This will help us prevent automated programs from affecting the performance of Lasting Tribute services for you.

What is RSS?

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication.

An RSS feed allows you to see when a website has added new content. You can get the latest updates in one place, as soon as they are published, without having to visit the website from which you have taken the feed.

How do I subscribe to RSS?

You need something called a feed reader. This is a piece of software that checks the feeds and lets you read any new articles that have been added. There are many different readers, some of which are accessed using a browser, and some of which you download.

Lasting Tribute offers an RSS feed of all Featured Tributes — tributes to people in the public eye such as celebrities, sportspeople and soldiers etc. Further content will be added in the future.

Pages offering an RSS feed will feature the RSS ( ) button.

If you click on the RSS button you can subscribe to the feed. Some browsers, including Firefox, Opera and Safari, automatically check for feeds for you when you visit a website, and display this icon when they find one.
