Our definition…
RSS Feed is an internet tool used to deliver regularly changing web content. Many news-related websites, blog sites, and online publishers will have their site content connected to an RSS Feed so that the site’s readers can “subscribe” to their RSS Feed in order to receive notifications anytime that specific site updates or adds information.
FYI: While in the past, the word “subscribe” was known to have a dollar amount attached…when you “subscribe” to a feed, there is no cost involved.
Benefits of using RSS Feed…
- Allows you to easily access the latest content from the sites you enjoy most
- Saves time by delivering the information directly to you rather than you visiting multiple sites to receive information
- Helps you secure your privacy more since there isn’t as much of a need to sign up for email newsletters
So…now that you know, feel free to subscribe to our blog via RSS Feed!
