Blogging Tutorial

RSS stands for "really simple syndication" and it's a new way to allow people to access your site's content through other channels.

Here's an example...

Let's say you love reading the entertainment headlines from USAToday.com and CNN.com every morning.

Instead of going to the individual sites, you can subscribe to these feeds with your own RSS reader and receive this content all at once through your reader. You can subscribe to any site that offers feeds and manage them all in one place.

Mozilla Firefox also has a built in RSS reader. So when you subscribe to a site that has feeds available, the content appears in your Mozilla bookmarks.

As a webmaster, you can create your own content feeds so your visitors can subscribe to them.

Anytime someone opens up their reader, your updated content feeds will be listed.


Great For Blogs:

If you have a blog with WordPress or Blogger then your RSS feed is automatically created for you.

Once your feed has been created, you can sign up with a service like Feedburner and they will help promote your feed.
