Happy RSS Day!

RSS Awareness Day

Today is RSS Awareness Day! It’s an entire day devoted to spreading the word about RSS.

What is RSS? RSS means Real Simple Syndication. It’s an easy way keep up to date with websites that frequently update content. When you see an RSS button on a site, you simply click the button to add that site to your RSS reader. It saves you clicks because the reader will update whenever there is a new posting. I primarily use Mozilla Firefox, and when I click RSS buttons on my favorite sites, it adds the feeds to my Bookmarks, allowing me to organize feeds how I want. It is really incredibly easy and convenient, especially if you are planning on bookmarking a site anyway. By clicking the RSS button to add the feed, the bookmark now has a drop down menu with the latest entry titles. I can instantly tell if there is anything new without even visiting the site. And it only takes a second to add an RSS feed.

For example, to add Outdoor Urbanite to your feed reader, just click the green RSS button located in the lower right corner of the page:

RSS Feed

It’s that easy! The latest posting headlines will appear in your reader instantly. You save time and clicks while staying current with postings.

So get out there and have some fun adding feeds on RSS Awareness Day!
