You may have been seeing those little orange RSS or XML buttons around the Internet. If you were wondering what they are...
It's "the next big thing" -- you can use it to get newsfeeds from CNN or BBC, as well as just about anything else, including news on upcoming movies, DVD releases, your favorite musician's tour updates, etc.
Once you get started, it's like having your favorite parts of the Web come to you. No need to go out and check for updates all the time.
No more bookmarks for me!
"RSS" means "Really Simple Syndication." But that is just a fancy way of saying that you can keep up with all the updates to For the Love of Cats without having to check the site every day or week.
Yes, RSS is amazing. No email. No spam. It's so easy to subscribe and unsubscribe. If you get tired of For the Love of Cats, you just have to delete the feed.
And once you start, you'll soon be tracking all your other favorite interests and news in the world.
How do you get started? Easy!
Download a free RSS Reader first. This is special software that reads the RSS feeds...
Right-click (control-click for Mac users) on any orange RSS button on a site, blog or news source that interests you. Start by right-clicking on the orange button below. Then...
Select Copy Shortcut ("Copy Link to Clipboard" for Mac, "Copy Link Location" for Firefox browsers), and paste that URL into your RSS Reader.
