RSS Feeds

What is RSS? Why do I need to add an RSS feed to my website?

The acrynom RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. It is xml coding that is added to a website that allows for others to subscribe to the website. By using an RSS reader, others can have content "pushed" out to them, instead of having to visit a website. Creating an RSS feed is a simple task. Each time a new podcast or file is posted to the website, the RSS feed information needs to be updated to reflect the new postings.

What is the quickest way to create an RSS feed for a site?

The coding for an RSS feed is simple to write- compared to other types of codes. Therefore, the easiest way is to copy the code from another site- and change the URLs and descriptions.
