News Feeds using RSS

RSS (Rich Site Summary) is a format for delivering regularly changing web content. Many news-related sites, weblogs and other online publishers syndicate their content as an RSS Feed to whoever wants it.

RSS solves a problem for people who regularly use the web. It allows you to easily stay informed by retrieving the latest content from the sites you are interested in. You save time by not needing to visit each site individually. You ensure your privacy, by not needing to join each site's email newsletter.

These RSS feeds can be used to deliver relevant information to your site that is topical and changing.

Many websites display a small icon with the acronyms RSS, XML, or RDF to let you know a feed is available.

Consider using RSS to "grab" information pertinent to your audience that may educate them and keep returning to learn more.
