Features and Usage of USA Cowboy
	Designed to communicate western heritage in the USA, this web structure is only an Audiovisual Library to introduce cowboy resources to solutions with collaboration of skilled trades of the ranching industry and all those resources that provide assistance or solution to the working cowboy.
	USA Cowboy is also a resource for learning historical trades through apprentice or other means.   There is much emphasis on introducing the value system of the cowboy and his relationship with animals and nature.   This is expressed in music, poetry, art, folklore and customs.    The initial library resource and those that introduce their skills are found within the United States.   All products produced by these people have at least 60% or greater USA content value.
Directory System is Real Simple Syndication (RSS) Based
	The RSS system is a dynamic networking system, allowing the publication of thousands of items of topical interest in almost any media.   Individuals as well as webmasters may subscribe freely to receive the first of two divisions of a topic directory.   This may be thought of as an "on-ramp" to the Internet, where a listing of information is established for direct viewing here, or subscribed through other providers.   Microsoft Outlook and other mail-handling software provide a resource for instantly receiving the key information through that topic.  Note that this is not a delivery such as email.   You are only notified that there is new information, and must elect to activate the update to receive that information.    This is a great advantage, as the viewer does not have to reveal or offer their email address to anyone.   The receiver of a feed, as they are called, may discontinue easily at any time.  This a free listing resource for any USA business associated with the ranching trades.
	The second RSS feed (found from link on the first page above), is a compiled resource of information relating to that topical interest.   This information is screened for key information to be allowed to be included in the listing.   There may be a large number of different inbound feeds that are combined into this document, that are constantly changing.    The resources here may have products that do not qualify for listing in the first level topic directory.
Western Heritage Research and Development
	A special division, not accessible by the general public, is a communication network for collaboration and sharing of ideas and the creation of distribution media of those ideas for western heritage concepts.    A wide range of backgrounds and experiences are needed on a volunteer basis to offer solutions and suggestions for historical interest as well as applications for skills and technology for the modern cowboy.  Expression of these ideas are available for anyone to use to create scripts for TV, radio, and motion picture industries.    Ideas for poetry, music, and the arts, including photography are encouraged.   Those dealing with animal health may also cross-collaborate with poets, musicians and others, in addition to those in the medical industry in research and development.
Publishing Services Online
	TEXT ARTICLES Any cowboy, rancher, or service provider may publish information with USA Cowboy in a wide range of media formats.   The basic form is to submit text copy along with any photographs or illustrations on a western heritage topic for information to explain or instructions for resolving a problem.   Using the Research and Development resource is a way to generate ideas and receive suggestions from others for your article.    Your article will be edited for application into PDF file format for distribution.
	AUDIO ARTICLES Record with your computer an audio file for submission.   It may involve several individuals or just yourself explaining an experience, a method of solving a problem, or other information of interest.   The audio file will be edited and will be published for download by anyone for republish in a number of media outlets, such as public radio station re-broadcast.
	VIDEO ARTICLES A wide range of video format is accepted for editing for delivery on the Internet.    Have several cameras recording from different locations at the same time.   Check carefully sound levels.   These video productions may be relatively short (2-3 minutes) or may run for an hour or more.   Full editing available along with optional professional voice narration and music background.
CD and DVD Publishing
	Full editing of audio and DVD for publishing on CD and DVD media is available.   The CD version may also include for computer applications, a menu and linkage to websites, an on-CD audio and video presentations, including PowerPoint and other media formats.   This is available only for PC compatible computers.   The DVD is menu-supported and may be played on most DVD players.
Domain Name Launching Systems
	Ideally used when an easy method is needed to communicate to another person orally a resource that will specifically expand upon the topic of discussion.   A domain name may be used to specifically launch media (use CusterVideo.com in browser for this illustration), or it may also be used to list a directory of specific information where additional information may be found.   A third level domain (topic.domain.com) may be used to directly launch information.   Almost any number of topics may be used to launch individual pieces of information.  "WWW".domain.com may be used, for example, to launch a general directory while any number of other third-level domains (about.usacowboy.com) could be used to directly launch a specific web page or media.
Information Management With Codes
	These code, commonly used with coupons, may be used to allow specific information to be delivered to individuals of your choice.  Entry of a coupon code allows the individual to immediately access the web page of a specific choice.   This may be a multimedia presentation, order form, or other specific information you need delivered.   Add a code to email assigned to a particular mailbox used by your mail software.  Outlook is a good example of use for this application.   If additional security is needed, an ID and Password may also be assigned for access.
