What is RSS?
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication and is an XML (eXtended Markup Language) protocol that allows your computer to ‘talk’ to another computer by using a common language for data.
You are probably familiar with how to use a browser ‘Bookmark’ to save your favorite web sites and revisit them periodically to see if there is anything new or changed. But do you really do that? How many bookmarks do you have now that you return to?
RSS allows you to have your ‘Favorites’ come to you, automatically, when new content is released. No need to go out and check for updates all the time. Now you can keep up to date without having to remember the site and check back frequently to see what’s new. And, you won’t miss out on timely information.
Whenever I put up a new page or update an old one on Memberships Review, I release it through RSS. This also avoids email and spam. If you want to stop the incoming updates then simply delete the feed.
Yahoo! and MSN and Google have one-step solutions.
Click one of these links:
If you don’t use one of these portals you can download a standalone free RSS Reader
Windows — RssReader
Mac — NetNewsWire
Once you’ve installed the reader, Right-click (control-click for Mac users) on any orange RSS button on a site, blog or news source that interests you.
- Start by right-clicking on the orange button below
Select Copy Shortcut (”Copy Link to Clipboard” for Mac), and paste that URL into your RSS Reader.
And that’s it! You’re subscribed.
