WHAT IS RSS FEED?

If you read my post yesterday you will find out that i was very ecstatic about my being able to create the url of my rss feed. Don't blame me -i was almost frustrated from getting the fee active.



now i want to say one or two other things on rss feed. Things like 'what rss feed is' and 'how to be able to read it.



RSS feed is a way to syndicate the content of your blog for wider and easy access by your subscribers. OK, its , in its simplest XML file wthat carries the title of the site, date/time of posting, description and a link to the post. it is really simple syndication and a great resource for the user.

I think the next question is how to get access to read the file. The answer to this is to use a RSS READER. This is a software ,extention built into a browser that enable the subscriber to read the XML code as areadable information. what you do is to just go over to the reader and click on 'update' and the XML code will be deciphered into a readable form for you.

Before i stop in this post let me quickly state one advantage of RSS feed. It makes aaccessing blog post easy for the subscriber without having to log on to the blogs subscribed to one after the other. Thats for the subscriber and for the publisher, as i have stated earlier it means more visibility as it can lead to great increase in traffic to a site.

DID YOU FIND THIS POST INFORMATIVE OR INSIGHTFUL? DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION TO ASK OR COMMENT TO MAKE? PLEASE DO SO, IT WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED.
