Comments on: How Do You Do The Rss Feed Thing? http://rssmarketing.conversionchick.com/how-do-you-do-the-rss-feed-thing/ Really simple syndication, RSS aggregators, create simple RSS feed, basic RSS feed Tue, 08 Dec 2009 23:04:42 +0000 hourly 1 By: csanon http://rssmarketing.conversionchick.com/how-do-you-do-the-rss-feed-thing/comment-page-1/#comment-82 csanon Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:06:33 +0000 http://rssmarketing.conversionchick.com/how-do-you-do-the-rss-feed-thing/#comment-82 Well, let's start with understand what RSS is about. It's a method of delivering information. Unlike a normal webpage, which you browse and look at images, and so on, RSS feeds are highly compact, intended to be shown by a feed reader. They typically summarize the website or new additions to the website. RSS feeds can also be used by other programs for various purposes. For example, syndication. You could grab the data in a feed and show it on your website (with permission of course), with the proper coding. I'm going to assume you aren't a programmer and just want to use feeds as a consumer. Get yourself a feed reader. I really really suggest you Google and explore your choices. I'll list two choices: FeedReader (http://www.feedreader.com/ ) and Sage (http://sage.mozdev.org/) which is a Firefox extension. Well, let’s start with understand what RSS is about.
