Learn About RSS

If you’re new to blogging, or still don’t have a complete grasp on what RSS is or means, read on to learn more!

RSS stands for “Really Simply Syndication”. It’s used by bloggers to frequently publish a variety of items, such as blog postings, news, audit and/or video in a format that can be easily and widely recognized. RSS is sometimes referred to as a feed; this feed includes either the full article or summary of the text, date published and author. Publishers (i.e. me) can benefit from RSS by enabling their readers (those signed up for RSS) to get the information posted to their blog or site almost instantaneously. It’s beneficial for you, the reader, because if there’s multiple blogs that you’re interested in, but don’t have time to regularly check what’s being posted, you can quickly scan the postings that you’ve subscribed to via your feed.

RSS allows for a quick dissemination of information; I post the information and RSS feed sends you the alert, allowing you to monitor the articles and information that you’d like to further explore.
