RSS feeds
Hello everyone, Rob here. I just wanted to let you all know that we’ve updated the CBE Scroll to make the RSS feeds a little more visible. If you don’t know what RSS is, it stands for Really Simple Syndication. It’s a way to get notification and excerpts from frequently updated online content like blogs. Says Wikipedia:
(RSS) 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.
If you don’t already have an RSS reader program, I have used both Google Reader and RSSOwl and both are free and easy to use.
So back to the Scroll. Now you’ll notice in the upper part of the right-hand column two new RSS icons. The yellow icon links to the entire site feed. This will give you all the recent posts. The second red icon will give you just the recent comments which is a good way to keep up with conversations on each post.
As always, let me know if you have any questions in the comments below. And now back to your regularly scheduled programming…
