RSS feeds and blogs
adding a personal touch
Want more traffic? An easy way to distribute your news? Then you need an RSS news
feed or a Blog. To start all you need is content that you want to broadcast, and one RSS
text file.
What is rss?
really simple syndication
Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is a lightweight XML format designed for sharing
headlines and other Web content. Think of it as a distributable "What's New" for
your site. Originated by UserLand in 1997 and subsequently used by Netscape to fill
channels for Netcenter, RSS has evolved into a popular means of sharing content
between sites (including the BBC, CNET, CNN, Disney, Forbes, Motley Fool, Wired,
Red Herring, Salon, Slashdot, ZDNet, and more). RSS solves myriad problems webmasters
commonly face, such as increasing traffic, and gathering and distributing news.
RSS can also be the basis for additional content distribution services.
What is a blog?
blogging
A weblog, or blog, is a place where you can publish anything you want to the web:
your thoughts, feelings, photos, special events, experiences and so on. It's like
an online journal - and more. From pictures, videos, links, documents, newsletter,
opinions and more.
