Introducing RSS
Sure you may have heard of RSS, but you may not be aware of its benefits. Real Simple Syndication is a useful way to receive only cool stuff you request while visiting your favorite sites. We at ArcaMax Publishing recently made RSS available, which means our family-friendly articles can show up on your computer as long as you have a feed reader (Click here to see article with info. on how to get feed readers).
The following are more question and answers on RSS:
Question: What is an RSS feed?
Answer: An RSS feed contains headlines, summaries, and links for articles of interest to a particular reader.
Question: How does an RSS feed give me articles I am interested in?
Answer: Through the use of a feed reader, which filters the content of RSS feeds according to areas of interest chosen by the Web surfer. For example, if you are a baseball fan, you can log onto espn.com and click on its link for baseball. You can then copy the URL to this link and paste it into your feed reader as an RSS feed.
Question: Where are my RSS feeds located?
Answer: Receiving emails from spam-prolific sites is not an issue with RSS. Your RSS feeds are located with whatever provider you choose and are accessed through the Internet, eliminating email as a necessary step in receiving information.
For example: If you choose Yahoo as your feed reader, your RSS feeds are available to you at My Yahoo.
