estecoca Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Is it possible to add an RSS feed to this forum? I would prefer getting updates via RSS as opposed to reloading the "new posts" thread multiple times a day. I should more about RSS than I do, but I wonder what it would take to make this happen??? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill-V8V Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 RSS (abbreviation for Really Simple Syndication) is a family of Web feed formats used to publish frequently updated works—such as blog entries, news headlines, audio, and video—in a standardized format.<sup id="cite_ref-Netsc99_1-0" class="reference">[2]</sup> An RSS document (which is called a "feed", "web feed",<sup id="cite_ref-GuardWF_2-0" class="reference">[3]</sup> or "channel") includes full or summarized text, plus metadata such as publishing dates and authorship. Web feeds benefit publishers by letting them syndicate content automatically. They benefit readers who want to subscribe to timely updates from favored websites or to aggregate feeds from many sites into one place. RSS feeds can be read using software called an "RSS reader", "feed reader", or "aggregator", which can be web-based, desktop-based, mobile device or any computerized Internet-connected device. A standardized XML file format allows the information to be published once and viewed by many different programs. The user subscribes to a feed by entering the feed's URI (often referred to informally as a "URL" (uniform resource locater), although technically, those two terms are not exactly synonymous) into the reader or by clicking an RSS icon in a browser that initiates the subscription process. The RSS reader checks the user's subscribed feeds regularly for new work, downloads any updates that it finds, and provides a user interface to monitor and read the feeds. RSS formats are specified using XML, a generic specification for the creation of data formats. Although RSS formats have evolved since March 1999,<sup id="cite_ref-Qstart_3-0" class="reference">[4]</sup> the RSS icon ("") first gained widespread use between 2005 and 2006.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference">[5]</sup> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
