What is RSS?

"RSS" means "Really Simple Syndication." You can keep up with all the updates to the Website Writer without having to check the site every week to see "what's new."

Whenever I put up a new page or make significant changes to an old one, I release what's called a 'feed' through RSS. Web Content Provider News is the title of the RSS feed for website-writer.com (as well as my newsletter, if you still prefer email after reading this).

The Web Content Provider News RSS feed provides updated content, new website writing articles and special offers as I add them to the site. The new information is fed through to your browser or RSS Reader with just a headline link and brief description so that you can visit the site if you're interested.

No more email, no more spam, no more viruses —

you choose the information you want to access, and when, right from your web browser, without having to bookmark and search. You can use RSS to get newsfeeds from CNN, CBC or BBC, as well as just about anything else, including web content provider services from other sites. It's a great way to find sources for free web content for your own website or blog.

This may be new to you and may seem a little complicated at first, but once you're introduced to RSS, you'll be hooked.

If you're already using the personalized home page options with Google, Yahoo or MSN, you don't even need to download an RSS reader! Just click the links below to add Website Writer updates to your Yahoo, MSN or Google home page:

You can download a free RSS Reader, and also find out more about RSS:

Windows — RssReader
http://www.rssreader.com/
Important: RSSReader download may request and lead you to a "Windows .Net Version 1.1" download — be sure you select the ".Net 1.1 Redistributable" download. (That took me a couple of tries to figure out, but I am very impressed with the Reader program now that I have it!)

Mac — NetNewsWire
http://ranchero.com/netnewswire/

Once you're set up, here's all you have to do...

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...

COPY-SHORTCUT

Select Copy Shortcut ("Copy Link to Clipboard" for Mac), and paste that URL into your RSS Reader.

And that's it! You're subscribed.

Right-click and get started. Now, you'll be able to stay in step with The Website Writer's developments.
