What Is RSS?

Have you been seeing orange RSS buttons or "Add to MyYahoo" buttons more and more these days, but don't know what they are. 


"RSS" means "Really Simple Syndication." But that is just a fancy way of saying that you can keep up with all the updates to on how to make your own website without having to check the site every week to see "what's new." Whenever I put up a new page ("BRAND NEW") or update an old one ("UPDATE"), I release it through RSS. And...

As a result...

You can get current website building information without having to spend hours searching on the internet.

Yes, RSS is amazing. No e-mail. No spam. It's so easy to subscribe and unsubscribe. If you get tired of the articles, you just have to delete the feed. It's awesome!


How do you get started? Easy.

Download free RSS Reader first (skip to bottom if you do not want to download software). This is special software that reads the "RSS feeds" from the largest news organizations right down to little old me...

Windows -- RssReader
http://www.rssreader.com/

Mac -- NetNewsWire
http://ranchero.com/netnewswire/

Once you're set up, here's all you have to do...

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. Then...

Select Copy Shortcut ("Copy Link to Clipboard" for Mac), and paste that URL into your RSS Reader.

And that's it! You're subscribed.
