site tools

We've collected some information to make our site easier to use. Still need help? Have comments? Please tell us.

text size

Is the text too small? If you'd like to make it bigger, just click on the "larger" option in the site tools section in the left column. This little trick works through JavaScript and cookies. If you have those options turned off in your browser, you won't be able to change the text size from the left column. Also, if you notice that the text looks like it's jumped out of its columns after you switch text sizes, hit your browser's reload button. That should put the text back in place.

search options

There are couple of different ways you can search for information on this site.

feeds

You may find it easier to keep up with The Health Show by using one of the RSS feeds that we offer. RSS is a syndication format for web sites based on XML. It stands for Really Simple Syndication. Basically, we've packaged the information for each week's show so computers can manipulate it in a bunch of different ways. You can access stories on this site and many others using an RSS reader. Here's a list of RSS readers.

Here are feeds of what's in each week's show:
The Health Show: RSS .91
The Health Show: RSS 1.0

Here are feeds of The Chart, our blog of interesting health stories and reports:
