How Much Time Can Our Latest Site Tools Save You?

As part of a site-wide update just a few days ago, we’ve added several new tools to help make it even easier to find and use the counselling, psychology, and general mental health information you want from our site. Just check our new Site Tools page for full details of our new built-in printing facility, mental health search via RSS, and more.

To use the new printing facility, just select ‘print’ from your browser; provided your browser isn’t too old, it will now automatically detect and use a special set of instructions for printing just the main content of the page. No more extra menus, graphical decorations, sidebars, etc.: just the main content from the article you’re reading. With all that toner or ink you’ll save (not to mention time!), you’ll be able to stick around and print even more pages if you like.

My other favourite new addition is the extra new interface to our mental health search engine. Using a technology called OpenSearch, the folks over at A9.com have been busy developing a new way of enabling very finely-tuned, site-specific searches from within one overall interface. Like many of the other large and user-friendly sites on the web (!), we’ve plugged our own search engine into the A9.com interface, meaning you can automatically include CounsellingResource.com in your mental health searches from the A9 interface.

To check out our search engine via A9, just pop on over to the A9 ‘add columns’ page. Enter a term like ‘counselling’ or ‘therapy’ into the box labelled ‘Search Columns’, and presto! Look for the square icon like the one illustrated on our Tools page, and that’ll be us.

It turns out that OpenSearch is actually just a simple extension of ordinary RSS, which opens up a whole new realm of possibilities for webmasters who would like to access our search results in new and innovative ways.
