What
is RSS?
RSS
is a notification system used to alert subscribers to changes made to their
favorite web sites, blogs, emails, etc. An RSS feed is a text-based headline
with a link and usually a short summary, that is sent to you as soon as it is
published on the web site / service you subscribe to. If you’re interested
in being notified of when you have new email in your inbox (as in our case)
then just click on the RSS feed link and you will be directed to the email
content, simply and efficiently. Think of an RSS feed as checking for updates
to your emails, web sites, etc and notifying you instead of you checking on
it.
How
Do I Read the Feed?
You
may have noticed that when you try to click the RSS link, you just get a
squirrelly looking page of code. That is so because RSS is written in XML
(Extensible Markup Language), similar to html which means we need an RSS feed
reader to make it work and get the RSS feed to notify us of emails, website
changes, etc. You must either download the reader and load the xml file into
the reader or if you already have a reader then just load the file by copying
the text which you can see when you click on RSS to your reader. It is really
simple and you can do it in a few minutes.
