RSS Tutorial

What is RSS and why use it? RSS means "Rich Site Summary" or "Really Simple Syndication". In fact RSS is an XML-based protocol that are the latest news / news from a site. Also there are other variations on the same theme, such as Atom . Generally you should know that RSS and Atom are the same thing. The usual name is "RSS feed" or "RSS feed" to get a hint at least 50% Romanian.

RSS examples:

Sites generally have a news RSS feed. From Romania easiest example is the RSS feed of hotnews.ro .

Then plaformele blogging like WordPress , b2Evolution and everything.

How to use RSS software. RSS client programs.

Say you want to watch news on BBC, on Hotnews, ePeople.ro site and yet another 7 site-uri/blog-uri interesting topics. If the BBC / Hotnews / CNN say it is easy to remember addresses, can the other interesting blogs we fail to do so. So once I visited a site that caught our attention, looking to see if it offers RSS feed. If so, copy the feed's, which is usually something like http://site.com/rss http://site.com/feed or sometimes even with the extension. Xml. Then enter this address a mailing list to follow the program to watch our favorite RSS sites.

There are two broad types of programs watched news RSS:

A. RSS web based clients such as iGoogle . You can customize your iGoogle page google, including addresses by adding RSS to follow. So every time we go on iGoogle have a special page with everything new on stream feeds tracked.

Two. RSS Windows based clients. They are my favorite way to track RSS news because there are some programs that are usually well hidden in the systray, right down near the clock - an icon, and check the news regularly. If you determine that the new content on a site avetizeaza me a message and audible, I open the program, click on the news and see it in your browser. This system allows you to easily watch more free stuff to come on x sites every day to look for something, but certainly where you send something to see.

In this category I used SharpReader , but there are many free alternatives on the Internet.

Feedburner

Although it was bought by Google, Feedburner is still known by that name. FeedBurner is a service that takes your RSS feed on your own website, which usually is in a certain format, and cast him in several formats, and preliminary tests, and caching the virtual world. Then you not only saves your server traffic and potential customers of compatibility issues, FeedBurner offers some statistics, the possibilities of changing the feed is over, without affecting its users and perhaps other things that I do not know.

The fact is that ePeople.ro RSS feed is sent by FeedBurner, and even recommend anyone to do that. There AdSense for Feeds for those with more traffic :)
